Autostopper

Autostopper is a simple CLI tool for starting and auto-stopping your AWS EC2 instances. It allows you to manage your EC2 instances efficiently, automate their operations, and save costs by ensuring instances are only running when needed.

Features

  • Start Instances: Easily start one or more EC2 instances with a simple command.
  • Auto Stop: Automatically stop instances after a specified duration.
  • Time Management: Add or remove time from the operation dynamically while it's running.
  • User Notifications: Receive notifications 5 minutes before the instances are scheduled to stop.

Installation

Install Autostopper globally using npm:

npm install -g autostopper

Usage

Start an Instance with Auto-Stop

To start an instance and automatically stop it after a certain period:

autostopper start i-1234567890abcdef0
  • i-1234567890abcdef0: The ID of the EC2 instance you want to start. (multiple IDs can be passed as comma separated)

Add or Remove Time

While the instance is running, press CTRL+C to access options to add or remove time:

  • Add Time: Extend the running time of the instance.
  • Remove Time: Shorten the running time of the instance.
  • Continue: Resume the operation without changes.
  • Stop: Immediately stop the instance.

Notifications

Autostopper will notify you 5 minutes before the instance is scheduled to stop. This ensures you have time to extend the operation
