Creating a Slack bot to turn AWS services on or off
A number of AWS services charge by the hour but most services needed for development or testing are only needed during work hours. If it's only needed for 40 hours a week, why pay for the extra 128 hours? At the same time, maybe you'd rather keep the number of people in AWS to a minimum. In this talk, we'll create a Slack bot that automatically turns off AWS services at the end of the day but allows employees to turn them on or off from Slack.
