Tired of paying for dev/test servers all night? In this step-by-step video, I show you how to tag EC2 instances and use a single AWS Lambda + two EventBridge rules to automatically stop at night and start in the morning—saving real money with a one-time setup.
What you’ll learn:
• Tag strategy: target only non-prod instances
• Lambda function to Start/Stop by tag
• EventBridge schedules (remember: EventBridge uses UTC—convert from your local time)
• Minimal IAM policy needed
• Quick sanity test + troubleshooting tips
