Redshift reserved node payment failed remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the issue of Redshift Reserved Nodes having a status of “Payment Failed” in AWS, you can follow these steps using the AWS CLI:

Identify the Reserved Node with Payment Failed status: Use the following AWS CLI command to list all the Redshift Reserved Nodes and their statuses:
```
aws redshift describe-reserved-nodes
```
Look for the Reserved Node(s) with the “Payment Failed” status.
Modify the Reserved Node: Use the following AWS CLI command to modify the Reserved Node with the Payment Failed status:
```
aws redshift modify-reserved-node --reserved-node-id <ReservedNodeId> --reserved-node-offering-id <NewReservedNodeOfferingId>
```
Replace <ReservedNodeId> with the ID of the Reserved Node with Payment Failed status and <NewReservedNodeOfferingId> with the ID of a new Reserved Node offering that you want to apply.
Confirm the modification: Use the following AWS CLI command to confirm the modification and apply the changes:
```
aws redshift purchase-reserved-node-offering --reserved-node-offering-id <NewReservedNodeOfferingId>
```
Replace <NewReservedNodeOfferingId> with the ID of the new Reserved Node offering that you specified in step 2.
Verify the status: Use the following AWS CLI command to verify that the Reserved Node status has been updated:
```
aws redshift describe-reserved-nodes
```
Check if the Reserved Node status is now updated and no longer shows “Payment Failed”.

By following these steps using the AWS CLI, you should be able to remediate the issue of Redshift Reserved Nodes having a status of “Payment Failed” in AWS.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of Redshift Reserved Nodes having a status of “Payment Failed” in AWS, you can use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to automate the remediation process. Here are the step-by-step instructions to remediate this issue:

Install Boto3: If you haven’t already installed Boto3, you can do so using pip:
```
pip install boto3
```
Configure AWS Credentials: Make sure you have your AWS credentials configured either through environment variables, shared credentials file, or AWS config file.

Write Python Script: Create a Python script with the following code to identify and update the status of Redshift Reserved Nodes with “Payment Failed” status:

import boto3

# Initialize the Redshift client
redshift_client = boto3.client('redshift')

# Describe reserved nodes to get the list of reserved nodes
response = redshift_client.describe_reserved_nodes()

for reserved_node in response['ReservedNodes']:
    if reserved_node['State'] == 'payment-failed':
        # Modify the status of the reserved node
        redshift_client.modify_reserved_node(
            ReservedNodeId=reserved_node['ReservedNodeId'],
            ReservedNodeOfferingType=reserved_node['OfferingType'],
            NodeCount=reserved_node['NodeCount'],
            NodeType=reserved_node['NodeType'],
            Duration=reserved_node['Duration'],
            OfferingType=reserved_node['OfferingType'],
            PaymentOption='ALL_UPFRONT'
        )
        print(f"Successfully updated the status of Reserved Node {reserved_node['ReservedNodeId']}")

Run the Script: Execute the Python script to identify Redshift Reserved Nodes with “Payment Failed” status and update their status to “ALL_UPFRONT” payment option.
```
python remediate_redshift_reserved_nodes.py
```

By following these steps, you can automatically remediate the misconfiguration of Redshift Reserved Nodes with a status of “Payment Failed” in AWS Redshift using Python and Boto3.
