Description
The Idle Resource Detection & Auto-Shutdown System provides automated cost savings by continuously monitoring cloud infrastructure for underutilized or idle resources—such as unused EC2 instances, stale storage volumes, dormant Kubernetes pods, or inactive databases—and executing shutdown actions based on preconfigured policies. The system uses utilization metrics (CPU, network, memory), schedules, and tagging rules to identify candidates for termination, hibernation, or right-sizing. Teams can define business-hour schedules to auto-start/stop environments like development, staging, or QA, and receive alerts or confirmations before shutdowns. The tool supports exemptions, dry-run mode, and integrates with Terraform, AWS Lambda, GCP Functions, and Azure Automation for full lifecycle control. A reporting dashboard shows historical savings, detected inefficiencies, and estimated monthly waste. Ideal for DevOps, IT finance, and platform teams, this system helps eliminate cloud bloat, ensures lean infrastructure operation, and enforces cost discipline without compromising flexibility.

Setting up the automated policies was straightforward, and the savings we’ve realized since implementation have been substantial. The peace of mind knowing resources are efficiently managed is invaluable.
