Correct VPC EIPs if unattached

Overview

Elastic IP addresses are a costly resource to maintain, if they are unattached you will be accruing costs without any benefit; therefore unattached Elastic IP addresses should be released if not required.

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of unattached Elastic IP addresses 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_vpc_eips_if_unattached \
--arg 'items=<list({
allocation_id = string
cred = string
region = string
title = string
})>'

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_vpc_eips_if_unattached
args = {
items = <list({
allocation_id = string
cred = string
region = string
title = string
})>
}
}
