Research direction

Start by reading parent issue #159, then trace the existing handling for AWS resources, beginning with EC2 and RDS. Define how tags, hourly metrics, business hours, weekdays, time zone, utilization thresholds, and minimum savings determine candidates, and verify that Redshift and other safely suspendable services are considered without automatic changes.

Description

enhancement

What

Identify non-production workloads that are good candidates for scheduled stop and start windows.

Why

Development and test resources often run through nights and weekends despite having predictable business-hour demand. Scheduling can remove a large share of runtime cost, but only when workload intent and usage evidence agree.

Details

  • Start with EC2 and RDS, then evaluate Redshift and other services that support safe scheduled suspension.
  • Require an explicit non-production signal, such as configured tags, plus a complete hourly utilization lookback.
  • Estimate idle off-hours and potential scheduled-hour savings without changing resources automatically.
  • Exclude resources with meaningful off-hours activity, high-availability roles, or incomplete metrics.
  • Make business hours, weekdays, time zone, utilization threshold, and minimum savings configurable.
