Pipeline: Correct RDS DB instances exceeding max age

Overview

RDS DB Instances that run for a long time should either be associated with a Reserved Instance or removed to reduce costs.

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of long running RDS instances and then either send notifications or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action upon the collection.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from either:

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_rds_db_instances_exceeding_max_age \
--arg 'items=<list(object({
title = string
db_instance_identifier = string
region = string
conn = string
}))>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_rds_db_instances_exceeding_max_age
args = {
items = <list(object({
title = string
db_instance_identifier = string
region = string
conn = string
}))>
}
}
