I have recently forgot to Turn off / Terminate two ec2 instances running m5x.large and t3.medium that runs about 1 month and I just received a notification of my AWS monthly bill and shocked me!


At the first place I thought my account was hacked, But turns out that I just left two AWS EC2 Instances running. 🥲😔


So, that's why I came up with a basic solution and share it. So now, whether I forgot to turn it off …
