stackoperator

A small utility to help do start, stop and tag actions in an IaC stack for cost optimization purpose.
Stackoperator now support CloudFormation,Terraform stack,as well Resource Group.
It's a great idea to use stackoperator with Instance Scheduler on AWS solution by tagging stoppable resources created by IaC stack.

Use cases:

• During the POC testing process of solutions deployed using CloudFormation or Terraform, toggle related resources with one click to save testing costs.
• For solutions deployed using CloudFormation or Terraform, save operation costs by tagging toggleable resources and controlling their runtime using the Instance Scheduler on AWS solution.
• Batch Start,Stop and Tag toggleable resources in a resource group.

Prerequisites:

Before using stackoperator script, please make sure correct AWS credential in envs, using aws-vault to store and switch AWS credentials is recommend.

Install

pip install stackoperator

Upgrade

pip install --upgrade stackoperator

Usage

Start stopped resources in a given CloudFormation Stack

startcfnstack --stackname <CloudFormation_Stack_Name>  

Stop stoppable running resources in a given CloudFormation Stack

stopcfnstack --stackname <CloudFormation_Stack_Name>  

Tag stoppable running resources in a given CloudFormation Stack

tagcfnstack --tags "Key1=Value1,Key2=Value2" --stackname <CloudFormation_Stack_Name>  

Start stopped resources in Terraform Stack (at current path)

starttfstack [--statefile <Terraform_Stack_StateFile>]  

Stop stoppable running resources in Terraform Stack (at current path)

stoptfstack [--statefile <Terraform_Stack_StateFile>]  

Tag stoppable running resources in Terraform Stack (at current path)

tagtfstack --tags "Key1=Value1,Key2=Value2" [--statefile <Terraform_Stack_StateFile>]  

Start stopped resources in Resrouce Group

startresourcegroup --groupname <Resource_Group_Name>   

Stop stoppable running resources in Resource Group

startresourcegroup --groupname <Resource_Group_Name>    

Tag stoppable running resources in Resource Group

tagresourcegroup --tags "Key1=Value1,Key2=Value2" --groupname <Resource_Group_Name>
