# check_unattached_ebs_volumes
This script provides a pricing and capacity summary of unattached EBS volumes in all regions where EC2 service is available.

## How it works
The script fetches all regions with EC2 service enabled, then loops through all of them and fetches all unattached EBS volumes adds them into categories based on EBS type. Then the script fetches current EBS prices from AWS Pricing API for specified region and calculates EBS monthly expenditures for unattached EBS volumes per type.

## Requirements
* boto3
* os
* argparse
* json

## Options
This is the help output from the script.
```
$ ./check_unattached_ebs_volumes.py --help
usage: check_unattached_ebs_volumes.py [-h] [-p PROFILE] [-i AWS_ID]
[-k AWS_SECRET_KEY] [-e] [-v] [-j]

Determine unused EC2 resources

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE
aws profile to use, "default" profile is used if not
specified
-i AWS_ID, --aws-id AWS_ID
aws access key id to use
-k AWS_SECRET_KEY, --aws-secret-key AWS_SECRET_KEY
aws secret access key to use
-e, --env enable authentication using AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environmental vars
-v, --verbose display verbose output including pricing for each
storage type
-j, --json display json output including pricing for each storage
type
```

### Authentication
The script is able to utilise multiple authentication methods, first using profiles from `~/.aws/credentials` (preffered) and second using direct credentials as arguments to the script (not preffered). Third method is using environmental variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` (not preffered).

## Examples

Using the script in non-verbose mode with `default` profile.
```
$ ./check_unattached_ebs_volumes.py

EU (Ireland)
vol-02d1ed6d9f4a37cf3

Asia Pacific (Seoul)
vol-02f4546ce9c041e02
vol-0a26780232630b716

Canada (Central)
vol-04c69735fab373103

Total Price
-------------
$12.328

```

Using the script in json mode with different AWS profile. JSON output is parsed with `jq` for show.
```
$ ./check_unattached_ebs_volumes.py --profile ebs_user --json | jq .
