Description
We should implement some mechanism to automatically stop the instances we start. Some ways we could do this:
- A process runs on the instance itself to check when it's idle and shut itself down.
- Use [CloudWatch's utilization shutdown feature](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2013/01/08/use-amazon-cloudwatch-to-detect-and-shut-down-unused-amazon-ec2-instances/).

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Compare the proposed instance-side idle check with CloudWatch's utilization shutdown feature, then define how unused instances will be detected and verify that started instances stop automatically when they become idle.
