Self-hosted AWS EC2 & RDS sleep scheduler to cut cloud bills

Stop wasting money on idle cloud resources! CloudNap is a 100% self-hosted, open-source AWS scheduler. Define sleep windows for EC2 & RDS, set temporary resource lease TTLs, and track your accumulated savings in real-time with a premium Dark/Light dashboard. Runs in a single Docker container with live AWS Pricing API integration.
How does the live AWS Pricing API integration actually work in a self-hosted setup, are you making outbound calls from my container or is there some other mechanism?
This is right up my alley, I’m into self-hosting for exactly this reason. One thing I’m curious about: you mention the SaaS options needing broad IAM write access as a risk, but CloudNap still has to start and stop EC2/RDS, so it needs write perms too. How do you keep that footprint minimal? Is there a scoped IAM policy you ship, or a way to lock it to specific resource tags?
Spun it up over the weekend and the Docker setup took maybe five minutes, which I appreciated. The real-time savings counter is oddly satisfying to watch tick up overnight.
