to keep costs under control for AWS we will clean up below :

• clean up idle EC2 Instance
• clean up EBS Volumes which are unattached / all the volumes available to remove
• clean up snapshots orphans / delete all Snapshots which are not in use
• all Snapshots not in use by any AMI’s
• Release elastic IPs when they’re not in use

 

 

#aws ec2 describe-regions | grep -i regionname
“RegionName”: “ap-south-1”
“RegionName”: “eu-west-1”
“RegionName”: “ap-northeast-2”
“RegionName”: “ap-northeast-1”

“RegionName”: “eu-central-1”
“RegionName”: “us-east-1”
“RegionName”: “us-east-2”
“RegionName”: “us-west-1”

# aws ec2 describe-volumes > describe_volumes.txt

# aws ec2 describe-volumes –region us-west-1 > describe_volumes_us-west1.txt

# aws ec2 describe-snapshots > describe_snapshots

 

 

➜ # more describe_snapshots | grep -i SNAPSHOT | awk ‘{print $2}’ | sort | uniq | wc -l
15445

# aws ec2 describe-volumes –region us-west-1 | grep -i available
