Ever stopped an RDS or Aurora database, only to be surprised by a big bill because it was re-started after 7 days? I'm excited to share a new release of github.com/sqlxpert/*step-stay-stopped-aws-rds-aurora* ! It should now work beyond just the

aws

partition (please confirm, and I'll acknowledge you in the next ReadMe update). I've also added an optional service control policy and enabled immutable releases. Key elements are security (IAM intricacies and optional KMS encryption — the real thing, with support for multi-region keys housed in a separate account), multi-region + multi-account deployment (CloudFormation StackSet + optional Terraform), and serverless simplicity (EventBridge→Step Function). This was inspired by a user request, so I welcome your feedback…
