GorillaStack Alleviates Pain Points In The Cloud
Run Away Costs
As organisations scale more and more, usage inside the cloud and the resulting costs can begin to spiral out of control.
Pressure From The Finance Team
One result of the runaway costs can be demand from the finance team to create savings and measure usage.
Scripts Wreaking Havoc
Scripts can be laborious, onerous to maintain and inflexible. As AWS constantly changes its schemas, you have to stay on your toes to adapt.
Single Points of Human Failure
An employee who creates maintenance scripts isn’t scalable & often doesn’t stick around. Once they’re unavailable, organisations run into trouble.
Complexity In Cloud Management
Maintaining the foundational services of an AWS environment from within the console can be complicated and restrictive.
Inflexible Control & Permissions
Organisations that want to permit their engineers granular controls over their infrastructure find it hard to scale permissions and cede control.
Workflows for Amazon Web Services
Trigger > Action > Outcome
Take multiple inputs from your AWS services as triggers and turn them into meaningful outcomes by prompting actions in your environment. Use any combination of GorillaStack’s rules to create custom workflows for the cloud.
You can turn infrastructure on and off, back up storage and delete any part of your infrastucture using GorillaStack’s sophisticated rules engine.
- Integrate with Slack or Hipchat to manage your cloud
- Leverage granular permissions to empower your team
- Snooze and Cancel for ultimate flexibility
- Create sequences of actions to ensure graceful workflows

Suggested Rules
Schedule EC2 Instances
Create rules to schedule EC2 Instances based on your anticipated usage. Works best with predictable cycling for non-production environments.
Schedule RDS Instances
Choose times during the week to schedule your RDS Instances to turn on and off. Take advantage of predictable load and usage cycles to leverage the flexibility of the cloud.
Schedule Auto Scaling Changes
Take your cyclical fluctuations in demand for compute and set auto scaling schedules to ensure you have the appropriate infrastuture available.
Schedule Lambda Functions
Create rules for scheduled lambda functions to occur regularly and reliably resulting in the flexibility to manage and update your infrastructure on a regular basis.
Schedule EC2 Run Commands
Create rules that schedule EC2 Run Commands to occur regularly and reliably using PowerScript and PowerShellScript to reliably manage your EC2 instances.
Bunker RDS Snapshots
Automatically bunker RDS snapshots in other regions, encrypted or unencrypted, for peace of mind around disaster recovery and data storage.
Automate DynamoDB Throughput
Create rules to automate and schedule scaling of DynamoDB throughput based on your anticipated troughs and peaks in usage.
Automatically Create AMI
Set rules to automatically create an image of an EC2 instance to preserve its configuration.
Schedule EBS Deletion
Define time based workflows for EBS deletion to save storage in your AWS account and optimise cost on EBS Volumes, EBS Snapshots & EBS AMIs.
Schedule EBS Snapshots
Create reliable and repeatable automated backups for EBS to maintain flexible but robust systems that make sure you never miss any EBS data.
Delete Detached EBS Volumes
Detect and delete detached EBS volumes based on the period for which they have been detached, their tags and the region that they're stored in.
AWS Billing & Usage Alerts
Create AWS alerts to track spend for any service or infrastructure usage. Alert yourself or team members in Slack, HipChat, E-mail or SMS.
Invoke Lambdas From Webhooks
Automatically invoke a Lambda Function from a webhook to take inputs from external systems and trigger changes inside and outside your AWS environments.
Bunker EBS Snapshots
Automatically bunker EBS snapshots in other regions, encrypted or unencrypted, for peace of mind around disaster recovery and data storage.
Delete Orphaned Snapshots
Set up a scheduled rule to automatically delete orphaned snapshots. Delete any snapshots whereby the referenced AMI no longer exists.
Automate Windows VSS Snapshots
Automatically take VSS snapshots of your disks attached to multiple Windows Instances in AWS, using the AWS SSM Agent.
