Elastic Beanstalk waste check
Beanstalk Orphaned RDS
beanstalk_orphaned_rds
What it finds
Beanstalk Orphaned RDS: one of the Elastic Beanstalk checks in the compute optimization group. Checks in this group look for: compute capacity that is idle, stopped but still holding paid attachments, oversized for its load, or on an older generation.
Why it costs money
Compute is billed for the time it is provisioned, not for the work it does, so capacity nobody uses keeps billing.
How it is detected
Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.
Where this check runs
This check ships in the partner build, for consultancies that scan client accounts, and in the paid hosted tiers.
