Ensure that you thoroughly test the script in a staging environment before deploying it in production. +- **AWS Usage:** Regularly check your AWS usage and costs. If auto-scaling fails, you may need to manually scale down resources to prevent unexpected charges. +- **Support:** If you encounter issues with auto-scaling, please contact us for support. We can help diagnose and address problems related to the script’s functionality. + +## Auto-Cancel Script + +**Purpose:** +The auto-cancel script is designed to automatically terminate instances or resources based on specific conditions or schedules. + +**How It Works:** +1. **Condition Monitoring:** The script monitors conditions (e.g., idle time, resource usage) to determine when to cancel resources. +2. **Cancellation Actions:** The script cancels or terminates resources according to predefined rules. +3. **Configuration:** Customize the conditions and rules for cancellation in the script settings. + +**Usage:** +1. **Setup:** [Instructions for setting up the script, including necessary permissions and configurations.] +2. **Execution:** [How to run the script, including any command-line options or parameters.] +3. **Monitoring:** [How to verify the script’s operation and ensure proper functioning.] + +**Risks and Warnings:** +- **Liability:** We are not liable for any failures or issues that occur while using this script. Test the script thoroughly before using it in a live environment. +- **AWS Usage:** Monitor your AWS usage to avoid unexpected costs. If auto-cancellation fails, you might need to manually manage resources to prevent overcharges. +- **Support:** Contact us if you experience issues with the auto-cancel script. We offer support for troubleshooting and resolving script-related problems. + +## General Guidelines + +1. **Testing:** Always test scripts in a staging environment before deploying them to production. +2. **Monitoring:** Regularly check your resource usage and script performance to ensure they are working as expected. +3. **Updates:** Keep the scripts updated to align with any changes in AWS services or your environment. + +**Contact Information:** + +For support or questions, please contact us at [support email or contact form link].
