# AWS Cost Cleanup

Automate the identification and removal of unused AWS resources to eliminate waste.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to automatically clean up unused AWS resources to reduce costs and eliminate waste.

## Automated Cleanup Targets

**Storage**
- Unattached EBS volumes
- Old EBS snapshots (>90 days)
- Incomplete multipart S3 uploads
- Old S3 versions in versioned buckets

**Compute**
- Stopped EC2 instances (>30 days)
- Unused AMIs and associated snapshots
- Unused Elastic IPs

**Networking**
- Unused Elastic Load Balancers
- Unused NAT Gateways
- Orphaned ENIs

## Cleanup Scripts

### Safe Cleanup (Dry-Run First)

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# cleanup-unused-ebs.sh

echo "Finding unattached EBS volumes..."
VOLUMES=$(aws ec2 describe-volumes \
  --filters Name=status,Values=available \
  --query 'Volumes[*].VolumeId' \
  --output text)

for vol in $VOLUMES; do
  echo "Would delete: $vol"
  # Uncomment to actually delete:
  # aws ec2 delete-volume --volume-id $vol
done
```

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# cleanup-old-snapshots.sh

CUTOFF_DATE=$(date -d '90 days ago' --iso-8601)

aws ec2 describe-snapshots --owner-ids self \
  --query "Snapshots[?StartTime<='$CUTOFF_DATE'].[SnapshotId,StartTime,VolumeSize]" \
  --output text | while read snap_id start_time size; do
  
  echo "Snapshot: $snap_id (Created: $start_time, Size: ${size}GB)"
  # Uncomment to del
