Automated Resource Management on AWS Cloud Platform

TLDR: Various automation methods, cloud tools and resources used to automate resource management and monitoring on cloud are described to help in Cost optimization of the Industry.

Abstract: Terraform helps in building an Infrastructure for the Cloud Environment as a code. Management of the cloud infrastructure is an important and difficult task as the environment has a huge number of resources and maintaining, monitoring and cleansing of resources in each and every region will take up a lot of human effort and time. The work environment consists of number of instances and volumes made by many developers but it is necessary to keep a track on which user is making the Resources. This paper describes various automation methods, cloud tools and resources used to automate resource management and monitoring on cloud. The code has been developed on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda for the serverless approach. The Lambda function gets triggered by various CloudWatch Events according to its Rule. The automation is to monitor the EC2 resources and provide Tag to know who has created the instance or EBS Volume and also to notify about the resources as well as deleting the resources. Jenkins is a software which supports continuous integration for faster delivery. The resource management on the Cloud platform is a difficult task. Hence, in the rapid growth on industries resulting in huge environment to be maintained, automated strategies are necessary for management of resources and will also help in Cost optimization of the Industry.
