Deploy an IAM role via CloudFormation (2 minutes).
Define when your databases should be running or stopped.
Prerequisites
- A SnoozeDB account (free sign-up)
- An AWS account with permissions to deploy a CloudFormation stack
- At least one RDS instance in a supported region
Step-by-step guide
1. Create an organization
From the dashboard, click "New organization". Choose a name and a plan. The Dev plan is free and limited to 1 managed database. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.
2. Connect an AWS account
Go to "Connect an AWS account". Enter your account name and your AWS Account ID (12 digits).
SnoozeDB generates a custom CloudFormation template.
Click "Launch Stack" to deploy it on your AWS account.
Verification is automatic with retry (up to 1 minute) to wait for IAM propagation.
3. Configure schedules
Once the account is connected, your RDS instances are scanned automatically. Activate the ones you want to manage, then configure a schedule (Business Hours or custom) for each.
