When the IT setup is using Public cloud as the platform, cost is a big consideration and it’s objective to reduce the operational costs w/o impacting the business.

AWS cloud is flexible as they charge only for the resources we utilize. For a quick example on the EC2 instance running cost

For Development instances which are not required 24 x 7, saving can be done by stopping all development instances after business hours and weekend, as developers may be not using the instances that particular time. This can save a big amount from cloud expenditures.

How this can be Achieved

1) Instance Stop/Start can be scheduled using AWS Data Pipeline service. AWS charge for this service.
2) You can use your custom script/software to manage the instance stop/start.

I have written a small shell script to demonstrate, how you can manage the instance stop/start at your level. On the server where configuring this script, need to have aws cli setup.

In this video discussion is on the script and technical steps followed.
