This comprised a use case where we leveraged simple Lambda functions to start and stop our EC2 instances during off hours, thus saving unnecessary running costs. We also explored two other infrastructure management use cases where a Lambda function is used to periodically take backups of an instance's EBS volumes as well as tag EC2 instances with some useful metadata for chargeback and governance.
