From 1 to 100 Vm's & beyond

So you started playing around with amazon service, deployed & used the AWS Free Tier. Slowly you & team became familiar with the API, consoles, building a custom AMI, understood zones/regions & were totally amazed by the coverage on twitter & blogs. Most importantly you paid in cents!

It took hardly a few days for you to get hold of the nuts & bolts involved. Your manager is happy to see an AWS expert on the team & your role transparently changed to an Infrastructure Architect. Business units started requesting to put marketing web sites, surveys & more. Sales started requesting for more demo instances & trial stack to hand over to prospects for a faster sales conversion.

Spinning up a web stack was never an issue. Add the flexibility of EBS, RDS, S3  & handling a new app deployment  was an easy breeze.

Dev teams are happy to have a cooler config to play with on-demand.
QA & testing fellas were never so happy with black/white & other vibrant testing schemes.
Business teams are happy with IT teams for the first time in history.
Sales guys are closing on sales like never before.

You a.k.a "Infrastructure Architect" are talk of the office & even dated that girl from the corner desk.

You must have noticed but seems like you got plenty of VM's & other virtual elements on hand already. You started with a 1 & phew! its grown to a handful. In some cases you are handling 100's of VM's, you now have to keep track of growing EBS volumes & snapshots to be taken & more.

Your time is being eaten by mundane tasks to keep your CLOUD up & running not leaving enough time to look at granular security & optimization issues. Nevertheless it seems like you need a tool which can take this burden off your shoulder. 

Tool which can

  1. Track & monitor your AWS consumption
  2. Can recommend optimization & cost saving strategy
  3. Can alert when things hit thresholds
  4. Can keep you informed on overall billing across accounts
  5. & more....
