☁️ Cloud Cleaner Bot

A lightweight shell script that automates the cleanup of AWS resources such as stopped EC2 instances, unattached EBS volumes, EBS snapshots, and unassociated Elastic IPs — helping reduce costs and maintain a clean cloud environment.

🚀 Features

• Deletes unattached EBS volumes to free up space.
• Releases unused Elastic IPs to avoid unnecessary charges.
• Identifies stopped EC2 instances to help optimize resource usage.
• Cleans up EBS snapshots to reduce storage costs.
• Automates cleanup operations via a bash script using the AWS CLI.

💻 Tech Stack

• Bash/Shell Scripting
• AWS CLI

🌐 AWS Services Used

• EC2, IAM, Elastic IP, EBS (Volumes and Snapshots)

🛠️ Installation

1. Make sure you have AWS CLI installed and configured:

   aws configure
   

2. Clone the Repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Nishika10/Cloud_Cleaner_Bot.git
    cd Cloud_Cleaner_Bot
   

3. Give execution permission to the script:

   chmod +x Cloud_Cleaner_Bot.sh
   
    

📦 Usage

1. Run the script using the command:

   ./Cloud_Cleaner_Bot.sh
   

The script will:

• List and delete unattached EBS volumes.
• Release any unused Elastic IPs.
• Show stopped EC2 instances and ask if you want to delete them.
• List available EBS snapshots and ask if you want to delete them.

⚠️ Make sure your IAM user has sufficient permissions to perform these actions.
