Detect & correct EC2 application load balancers if unused

Amazon EC2 application load balancers with no targets attached still cost money and should be deleted. This pipeline identifies EC2 application load balancers with no targets attached and either sends notifications or attempts predefined corrective actions.

Getting Started

This control works out-of-the-box with sensible defaults, configurable via variables.

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

flowpipe pipeline run detect_and_correct_ec2_application_load_balancers_if_unused

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_ec2_application_load_balancers_if_unused

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_ec2_application_load_balancers_if_unused  
}
