Simon Roberts: Innablr - Revolver
Presenting an overview of Revolver - an open-source solution for shutting down
AWS resources when not in use (overnight, weekends, extended holidays etc) to save money - up to 65%.This solution runs serverless (AWS Lambda), with a very small footprint, and
scales to hundreds of AWS accounts without issue. It can currently stop/restart: EC2 instances (including Autoscaling groups) and RDS databases (including clusters).
Extensive auditing and logging is available, and the solution can be extended through the use of plugins.The talk will also cover operations at-scale, including decentralising the configuration to individual account-holders, implementing "central shutdown" and opt-in/opt-out,
reporting, CI/CD, integration with existing systems, etc. https://github.com/Innablr/revolver
