Destruction of unused resources

Key role(s)

Objectives

Eliminate waste by destroying unused resources

Benefits

Expenditure reduction

The destruction of unused resources requires an analysis of the suppliers' monitoring tools or, again, of market tools, in order to realise that certain resources are not being used. A market tool will, for example, be able to detect orphan resources: a disk not attached to an instance, an ELB lost in its corner or instances without any incoming link...

Once the list of recommendations is made, they must be analyzed and changes validated. Then carry out destructions via the console or in a scripted way:
