Show HN: AWS-doctor – A terminal-based AWS health check and cost optimizer in Go

Summary

A terminal-based tool that acts as a comprehensive health check for your AWS accounts. Built with Golang, aws-doctor diagnoses cost anomalies, detects idle resources, and provides a proactive analysis of your cloud infrastructure—effectively giving you the insights of AWS Trusted Advisor without the need for a Business or Enterprise support plan.

It doesn't just show you the bill; it acts as a diagnostic tool that helps you understand where the money is going and what can be cleaned up. It automates the routine checks I used to perform manually, serving as a free, open-source alternative to the paid recommendations found in AWS Trusted Advisor.
