GCP Vertex AI Workbench Notebook Missing Idle Shutdown
Without idle shutdown the notebook keeps billing its machine type after the last cell finished, which for an accelerator instance is the whole cost.
Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.
Google Cloud
Found, explained, handed over.
Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.
Detect
ZopNight checks this automatically across Google Cloud, with read-only access to the account.
Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Enable idle shutdown on the Workbench notebook. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.
Fix
The finding opens with the change already spelled out, so the fix is one ticket, not an investigation.
