New description:

 This involves shutting down the instances, particularly when the master is
 stopped and/or crashes.  This will help users keep their EC2 costs
 contained.

 Users should be able to rely on Buildbot to only spend the necesary amount
 on EC2 instances, without any surprises at the end of the month.
 Successful completion of this project will address the known bugs below,
 but also provide some failsafe or monitoring mechanisms that an OSS
 project could use to head off any overbilling.

 == relevant bugs ==
 [[TicketQuery(order=priority,status!=closed,keywords~=ec2cost,format=table,col=summary|owner)]]

 Bounty: US$5,000 - see BountyProgram
