How InfinOps works and Saves 80%?
In this article we will discuss the examples of methods you can offer the prospects to tell how Infinops works.
Inventorization
All files must be appropriately tagged and each file should have an assigned owner. Important files without an owner can be assigned, for example, to a product manager. This way, we determine who uses which resources and which resources are no longer used by anyone - such resources should be deleted accordingly. Furthermore, there must be a tag indicating whether a resource can be deleted or not.
So, there are many details that we must remember. Tagging strategy is unique for each company.
Resource tagging is very important, and it will provide tremendous insight and immediately remove unnecessary resources, unclaimed by anyone. Usually, this already saves about 40-60%, because without a well-functioning tagging system, trash files will accumulate over time and take up a lot of space.gies are individual and depend on the company.
The reserved instances
If you have some production instance and you know that it will not go anywhere, it will not go down, or if it's maybe a database that you need and it will just be running for the next year it makes sense to book a three-years plan or a yearly plan. This is also an option that can save 30%.
Spot instances
AWS provides such options as spot instances. They have a limited supply and they are only provided while AWS or other providers have supply.And when they run out of supply, they raise the price for this resource and it works like an auction. So whoever pays more gets the resource. The crazy thing about that is the starting price at this auction is 33% of the on-demand price. There is an opportunity that someone will pay more for these resources and they will be taken. But in practice it means that once in a while, one hour in two months you would lose your instance for one hour and then it will be back. And even if you are willing to pay more than others then you will not have any outages at all. You pay three times less than if you would buy an on-demand machine. If it is used in the right way and carefully, it is also another way to save up to 67%.
Scheduling the virtual machine time
If in 24 hours you use the machine only during working hours, that's 8 hours or let's say 12 hours.You still save 50% just by turning off the machine for the night time. Because while you are working with AWS there should be a special setting for the virtual machine to shut down when you are not using it. By default it is working 24 hours. But as with the other methods it should be used carefully: some of the machines should never shut down. So here the tag-system is also helpfull.
Shrinking unneeded resources
So imagine that you have a virtual machine and you see that it's much more powerful than would be needed. It's very easy to see on AWS. You see the utilization percentage. And if you see that for the last two weeks the utilization has never gone higher than 30% then obviously your machine is three times more powerful than you actually need it to be, so you shrink it.
Here we presented a few of methods that we use for optimisation, but of course far not all of them. Others are much more complicated. For example, we also recommend moving a hot OpenSearch storage to UltraWarm storage, but that wouldn't tell you anything. Here were the simple methods that already can cut 20-80% for sure.
