aws-resource-toggler 0.1.0

A Python library to start and stop AWS resources (EC2, RDS, ECS) based on tags.

AWS Resource Toggler

A powerful Python package designed to automatically manage the state (start/stop/scale) of multiple AWS services (EC2, RDS, ECS) based on custom resource tags. This is ideal for managing non-production environments to save costs. Installation

Structure the files: Create the following directory structure:

.
├── setup.py
├── README.md
└── resource_toggler/
    ├── __init__.py
    └── manager.py

Build the package: From the root directory (where setup.py is located), run:

python setup.py sdist

Install the package:

pip install dist/aws-resource-toggler-0.1.0.tar.gz

(Replace 0.1.0 with your package version)

Usage as a Library

The main function is toggle_resources. You must have AWS credentials configured (e.g., via AWS CLI or environment variables) for Boto3 to work. Example

import json from resource_toggler import toggle_resources

Define the tags you want to match

This example will toggle resources tagged with both 'Stage=Dev' AND 'Schedule=Workhours'

required_tags = [ {'Key': 'Stage', 'Value': 'Dev'}, {'Key': 'Schedule', 'Value': 'Workhours'} ]

Run the toggler for a specific region

try: report = toggle_resources( tag_filters=required_tags, region='us-east-1' # Specify your target region )

print("--- Execution Complete ---")
print(json.dumps(report, indent=4))

except Exception as e: print(f"An error occurred during execution: {e}")

Usage in AWS Lambda

The package retains the original lambda_handler for direct use as a Lambda entry point.

Lambda Handler: Set the Lambda handler to resource_toggler.manager.lambda_handler.

Environment Variables: Define the required tags as environment variables (e.g., TAG_0_KEY=Stage, TAG_0_VALUE=Dev).
