Pipeline: Correct Compute engine instances large

Correct Compute instances if large

Overview

Compute instances can be quite costly to retain, it is also likely that after a certain point in time they're no longer required and should be cleaned up to prevent further costs. Large compute instances are unusual, expensive and should be reviewed.

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of large compute 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 gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_compute_instances_large \
  --arg 'items=<list(object({
      title         = string
      conn          = string
      instance_name = string
      zone          = string
      project       = string
    }))>'

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = gcp_thrifty.pipeline.correct_compute_instances_large  
  args = {
    items = <list(object({
      title         = string
      conn          = string
      instance_name = string
      zone          = string
      project       = string
    }))>
  }
}
