Application Scenarios

Stopped ECSs need to be detected and handled to prevent service interruption.

If an ECS is no longer needed, delete it to save costs. If such ECS has sensitive information, the data may be restored even if the ECS is shut down. Clearing the data before deleting the ECS can reduce security risks.

Solution

Check whether your ECSs are still required. If not, delete the ECSs. For details, see ECS Deletion and Unsubscription.

If the ECSs are still required, start and maintain them.

Rule Logic

  • If an ECS instance is not stopped, the ECS instance is compliant.
  • If an ECS instance is stopped, the ECS instance is non-compliant.
