Your EC2 dev box ran all weekend.

You were at the beach.
AWS didn't care.

Fixed schedules don't know you left. Activity-driven pause does. #FinOps

4 AWS accounts. Anyone know which EC2s and ECS services are still running right now with no one behind them?

Not yesterday. Right now.

#FinOps #AWS

CPU at 2% isn't idle. It's waiting. An RDS waiting for a query costs the same as one under load. AWS bills the instance, not the work. Wrong metric. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Load test ran Tuesday. ASG is still at max. That's ~$50/day in instances nobody's using. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Nobody owns the off-switch for your staging ECS service after 6pm.

Not the dev who last deployed it. Not the lead. Not the on-call.

It just runs. All night. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Your EC2 dev box doesn't know you went to lunch. It just keeps running. #FinOps #AWS

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Your EC2 doesn't know you went to lunch.

No context. No awareness. Just billing.

Fixed schedules miss the gap. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

CPU at 2% doesn't mean idle. It means the engineer stepped out. The instance is still running. AWS is still billing. The work stopped - the cost didn't. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

You closed your laptop at 7pm.

Your EC2 dev box didn't.

It ran all night. Nobody connected. AWS billed anyway.

The box doesn't know you left. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

How many of your team's dev EC2s are running right now?

If you need to open three tabs to answer that, the visibility isn't there.

Activity-driven pause/resume does: if nothing's using it, it stops. When work resumes, it comes back. Try it: https://t.co/vyqrYDXfSF

That ECS service you spun up for a Q1 experiment?

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Fixed schedules don't catch this. A cron job stops what's on the list - not what got forgotten. #devops #awscosts

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Your EC2 dev box ran 24 hours today. You were actually at your desk for maybe 6. The other 18 billed anyway. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Friday 5pm. You close your laptop. Your EC2 doesn't. It runs all weekend. Nobody billed for idle hardware before the cloud did. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Your staging RDS didn't decide to run all weekend. Nobody decided it shouldn't. That gap between intention and action is your cloud bill. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Closed your laptop Friday at 6.

Your EC2 dev box didn't get the memo.

It's been running since. Billing by the hour. All weekend.

Activity-driven pause: it stops when you do. #FinOps

[Trigops @trigops_co]

Your staging RDS ran all weekend. Nobody touched it. You paid for 48 hours of nothing.

That's not a cloud problem. That's a scheduling problem. #FinOps
