Make aws-prune run "out of band" and not as a handler #43

Closed solarkennedy closed 8 years ago

Running the aws-prune script as an even handler has two downsides:

It is wasteful cpu-wise
It means there is always a warning event while a server is being shut down

Running the aws-prune thing as a cron job could make this more efficient and prune terminated instances faster, without causing spurious alerts.

Pinging @somic @jglukasik or @loganrosen if they would like to do this, otherwise I'll take it.

@georgebashi would like this to not use our cron::d wrapper or open source that dependency. (which we should!)

I can probably take this, but have a few questions before I go ahead. I'll follow up with you in person.

Go for it. We are currently overloaded on our sensu/puppet servers and this would help a bit.
