Detect & correct EBS volumes attached to stopped instances

Overview

EBS volumes attached to stopped instances still incur costs even though they may not be used; these should be reviewed and either detached from the stopped instance or deleted.

This pipeline detects EBS volumes attached to stopped instances and then either sends a notification or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action.

Getting Started

This control will work out-of-the-box with some sensible defaults (configurable via variables).

You should be able to simply run the following command in your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run detect_and_correct_ebs_volumes_attached_to_stopped_instances

By default, Flowpipe runs in wizard mode and prompts directly in the terminal for a decision on the action(s) to take for each detected resource.

However, you can run Flowpipe in server mode with external integrations, allowing it to prompt for input via http, slack, teams, etc.

Alternatively, you can choose to configure and run in other modes:

Notify: Provides detections without taking any corrective action.
Automatic: Performs corrective actions automatically without user intervention.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_ebs_volumes_attached_to_stopped_instances

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_ebs_volumes_attached_to_stopped_instances  
}
