Installation:

A pip package is available for this tool. This is the recommended way to install and run the tool. Download and run the tool using the steps below:

  1. python3 -m pip install awsrightsizer --user

  2. rightsizer [OPTIONS]

Upgrading

Upgrading is easy as well with pip, simply issue the following commands:

  1. python3 -m pip install awsrightsizer --upgrade --user

  2. rightsizer [OPTIONS]

Source Installation:

This tool is best run in a virtual environment. You may need to install a virtual environment tool such as python3-venv or python3-virutalenv via your package manager and/or install one via pip by running pip install virtualenv --user.

  1. git clone https://github.com/gregoryjordanm/awsrightsizer.git

  2. cd ./awsrightsizer

  3. python3 -m venv venv or virtualenv -p python3 venv

  4. . ./venv/bin/activate

  5. pip install -r requirements

  6. python rightsizer.py [OPTIONS]

Running Example:

Lets assume for a second that you have already installed the AWS CLI tools for your distribution...

Lets also assume that you have already run the aws configure command and have a profile named "dev" on your system that you have already tested and is functioning :)

To run this tool with your working profile, simply do the following:

rightsizer -p dev

The tool will output a "report_date.csv" file in the directory you ran it in.

Lets now assume that you hate my report name, simply run:

rightsizer -p dev -o your_awesome_new_csv.csv

The tool will now use your_awesome_new_csv.csv is the output file.

If you don't have an AWS profile set up for some reason (it really does make life easier), then you can use the -k, -s. and -r flags to provide the necessary info.

rightsizer -k XXXXXXXXXXXX -s XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -r us-east-1

If you don't want to have the tool pull 30 days worth of data, or if you don't want the data periods to be 30 minutes, use the -q flag like so:

rightsizer -p dev -q 15,900

This will tell the tool to query 15 days at 15 minute intervals.

To run against just your EC2 assets, just issue the -e flag.

To run against just your RDS assets, just issue the -d flag.

If you are running this via the source, you will need to add python rightsizer.py to your command instead of just rightsizer.

Let me know if you find bugs :)
