Hi SweetOps, i have been building CloudSlash which is an open-source, local-first tool to clean up AWS costs without sending your data to a SaaS.
It builds a graph of your infrastructure to find:
1) Orphaned Ebs Volumes / Snapshots
2) Idle RDS / Load Balancers
3) "Zombie" Assets (dependencies that don't exist)
It’s written in Go, runs locally, and generates terraform import blocks to help you clean up safely. Just shipped v2.1.1 today to fix some multi-region S3 scanning issues.

Hey all. Wondering if anyone here has used AWS Config? I'm looking to setup an aggregator in my management account to get all the ec2 and running ecs objects into a single inventory view, then use that for my ansible inventory so I can manage hosts across accounts.

Hello! I've published an article that demystifies S3 storage class selection. Many, many other people have written about this, but I avoid the usual sins:
• Copying quantities from the price list without attending to the units. What is $0.00099 per GiB worth? When I write it as 0.099¢, you see it's about 0.1¢ or ⅒ of a penny.
• Taking marketing seriously. The price of data retrieval from the Intelligent Tiering storage class is 0, but I can calculate the cost (up to 3.6¢ per GiB) so you can compare storage classes directly.
• Not keeping up with new storage classes, pricing rule changes, and price reductions.
• Complicating the math. Though (or maybe because?) I actually was a credentialed K–12 math teacher, I hate complexity! The intersection of two linear equations is one way to figure and visualize the break-even point, but sums or series make sense to everyone:
I hope you'll find the article useful, and learn at least one new fact about S3 costs! Feedback is welcome. This piece grew out of a much shorter and more limited submission to the (quite useful!) Cloud Efficiency Hub at hub.pointfive.co/hub .

STANDARD_IA: 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 1.25 = 6.25¢ per GiB
INTELLIGENT_TIERING: 2.30 + 1.25 + 1.25 + 0.40 + 0.40 = 5.60
