6 months ago I joined a team where we have a few quite messy AWS environments. All of our current stuff is created through cloudformation (with templates generated through Troposphere). This is pretty neat and not too hard to keep track of what we're using.

The environments also contain a number of resources that were created ad-hoc at some point, and many of these resources I don't know if they're used at all.

Are there any tools that will help me figure out what resources are no longer needed? So far I've seen Janitor Monkey from Netflix which seems like it might help.

For S3 resources I'm thinking of just setting up access logging on all buckets then writing a script to parse the access logs over some time and see what isn't accessed at all.
