Scheduled Stopping and starting an instance
We may want to stop and start our AWS instances at a scheduled time. The Python code below does it using cron job and a boto module.
# instance.py
#!/bin/python
import argparse
import sys
import boto.ec2
def check_arg(args=None):
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='args : start/start, instance-id')
parser.add_argument('-o', '--op',
help='operation type',
required='True',
default='stop')
parser.add_argument('-i', '--iid',
help='instance id',
required='True',
default='')
results = parser.parse_args(args)
return (results.op,
results.iid)
def manage_instance(op,iid):
instance_id = []
instance_id.append(unicode(iid))
conn = boto.ec2.connect_to_region('us-west-1')
#print 'conn=',conn
if op == 'stop':
#print 'stop: instance_id=',instance_id
conn.stop_instances(instance_id,False)
elif op == 'start':
#print 'start: instance_id=',instance_id
conn.start_instances(instance_id)
else:
#print 'else'
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
'''
Input : instance id & operation
How it works : should work with cron on srv-01-0001-instance-manager. For example,
0 7 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/ubuntu/EC2/instance.py -i i-k172af8d -o start
0 11 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/ubuntu/EC2/instance.py -i i-k172af8d -o stop
'''
op, iid = check_arg(sys.argv[1:])
#print 'op=',op,' iid=',iid
manage_instance(op,iid)
The cron looks like this:
$ crontab -e 0 7 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/ubuntu/EC2/instance.py -i i-k172af8d -o start 0 11 * * * /usr/bin/python /home/ubuntu/EC2/instance.py -i i-k172af8d -o stop
Note that it takes two args: instance id and operation.
