Stop Wasting Money
Hello DevOps Community, In many environments, Jenkins instances sit idle between infrequent builds, accruing unnecessary EC2 costs. If your team uses Jenkins only periodically—for deployments, pull requests, or CI/CD pipelines you’re likely overpaying for compute resources. In this tutorial, we’ll explore a serverless solution to stop the Jenkins instance during idle periods and start it automatically when a new build is triggered.
