Creating the Start Stop ec2 instances as lambda function

• Lets Create an IAM role for lambda to start or stop ec2 instances
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Lambda function to start ec2 by tag
  
  
• Lambda function to stop ec2 by tag
  
• Now lets call these functions based on schedule
  • Every weekday on 10 AM we start the ec2 instances
  • Every weekday on 7 PM we stop the ec2 instances
• For this we need to create an Event Bridge to create rule for ec2_start and ec2_stop
  
  
  
  
  
• Exercise:
  • Create a role for aws lambda to have ec2 full access and cloudwatch full access.
  • Create an ec2 instance and add a tag env & value qa
  • NOw create a lambda function with code Refer Here
  • Try to use Test Event to start or stop ec2 instance which you created.
  • Optional: try to create a lambda function which stops the rds instances by their tag Refer Here
