Benchmark: ECS Checks

Thrifty ECS Benchmark

Thrifty developers eliminate their unused and under-utilized ECS instances. This benchmark focuses on finding resources that have not been restarted recently, have old snapshots and have large, unused or inactive disks.

Variables

Variable	Description	Default
ecs_disk_max_iops	The maximum IOPS allowed for disks.	32000 IOPS
ecs_disk_max_size_gb	The maximum size in GB allowed for disks.	100 GB
ecs_instance_allowed_types	A list of allowed instance types. PostgreSQL wildcards are supported.	["%.nano", "%.small", "%._large", ".__large"]
ecs_instance_avg_cpu_utilization_low	The average CPU utilization required for instances to be considered infrequently used. This value should be lower than `ecs_instance_avg_cpu_utilization_high`.	20%
ecs_instance_avg_cpu_utilization_high	The average CPU utilization required for instances to be considered frequently used. This value should be higher than `ecs_instance_avg_cpu_utilization_low`.	35%
ecs_running_instance_age_max_days	The maximum number of days instances are allowed to run.	90 days
ecs_snapshot_age_max_days	The maximum number of days snapshots can be retained.	90 days
