Development VM Shut Down Policy

In order to conserve resources on AWS, we should shut down (not terminate) any Large or greater EC2 instances when not used.
- Machines should be stopped by 6PM if unused, especially on Friday afternoon.
- Machines should be stopped not terminated. We want them to keep them. We just don't want to waste money having them run when unneeded.
- Machines can be restarted as needed.
- The Bastion should never be stopped.
- If the VM's state is controlled by a service (e.g. Kubernetes), don't worry about stopping it because it may be auto-restarted.
- This policy does not apply to production systems.
Specific instances that should be shut down include the Janus servers.
