Have you considered using a Fargate instance instead of EC2 so you dont have to keep stopping and starting the instance to save money? As I understand it, Fargate is constantly running (just like ec2), but only charges on a usage basis, rather than based on the uptime (like ec2).
Hi 👋
Fargate is an ECS flavour where you are not managing directly the EC2 behind ECS. But Fargate comes with a pricing per hour: aws.amazon.com/fargate/pricing/
So if you create a Fargate task, you will pay for it as long as the task is up and idle or running 😇.
