Comment: Updated cloud native tip to AWS Instance Scheduler.

You can use the Amazon EC2 Instance to start, stop or reboot provisioned Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances on demand, e.g. only when needed by the build itself (development) or at specific times of the day (operations).

Configuration

Tip
titleAlternative solution Cloud native alternative via AWS CloudFormation

AWS has published a cloud native

EC2

AWS Instance Scheduler solution that can be deployed into a single region with the AWS CloudFormation Stack task and then

apply actions to Amazon EC2 instances in any AWS Region

also allows to start and stop instances in secondary accounts:

The AWS Instance Scheduler is a simple AWS-provided solution that enables customers to easily configure custom start and stop schedules for their Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) instances.


Info
titleCreating/Terminating Instances
We currently consider instance lifecycle goals (i.e. create/terminate) to be sufficiently addressed by the AWS CloudFormation Stack task, hopefully covering the majority of use cases (please let us know otherwise).

To configure an Amazon EC2 Instance task:

  1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
  2. Click the name of an existing Amazon EC2 Instance task, or click Add Task and then Amazon EC2 Instance Task to create a new task.

  3. Complete the following settings:

    1. Common to all tasks

      Include Page
      _CommonTaskParametersTable
      _CommonTaskParametersTable

    2. Actions supported by this task:

      Start Instance(s)


      Instance ID

      (Optional) Specify one or more instance IDs (semicolon separated).

      Filters

      (Optional) Specify resource filters in JSON format. Insert fragments from the inline Examples dialog to get started.

      Don't fail for empty filter resultCheck to prevent the task failing if no matching resources are found.

      Stop Instance(s)


      Instance ID

      see Start Instance(s) above

      Filterssee Start Instance(s) above
      Don't fail for empty filter resultsee Start Instance(s) above
      Force stop

      Check to force the instances to stop.

      • (warning) The instances do not have an opportunity to flush file system caches or file system metadata. If you use this option, you must perform file system check and repair procedures.This option is not recommended for Windows instances.
      Hibernate

      Check to hibernate the instance instead of shutting it down.

      Reboot Instance(s)
