Correct VPC NAT gateways if unused

Overview

NAT gateways are charged per hour once they are provisioned and available, so unused gateways should be deleted to prevent costs.

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of unused NAT gateways and then either sends a notification or attempts 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_nat_gateways_if_unused \
--arg 'items=<list({
cred = string
nat_gateway_id = 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_nat_gateways_if_unused
args = {
items = <list({
cred = string
nat_gateway_id = string
region = string
title = string
})>
}
}
