AWS Savings Plan – Deep Dive
Insisive Cloud | Blog
by insisivecloud
3y ago
AWS recently introduced another pricing model  – AWS Savings Plan to reduce costs up to 72% for term commitments for  1-3 years.  For folks who are in the thick of it, it looks similar to one that is already present – Reserved Instances(RI) with similar savings. But a quick analysis shows that it has much better flexibility. Why RI is hard to monetize: Given that RI is a term commitment for 1 or 3 years for fixed-size/ family/ AZ /region, it is suitable for workloads that are Running 24×7 Stable Prone to less change over 1 or 3 years Parallel workloads cannot use the same RI.&n ..read more

What are AWS EC2 Instances? Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and dow ..read more

As easy as it is to provision resources like servers, load balancers, etc in Cloud it also comes at a cost. Recent studies show that $10 billion is the annual waste across AWS, GCP, Azure. Since AWS is the largest of the three it also accounts for $6.4 billion, according to RightScale.  Few reasons why companies waste a lot of money is due to  : The ease with which resources can be provisioned. Lack of visibility of provisioned resources. Unaware of how much you’re spending on a resource until you get the bill at the end of the month. Top 10 Tips for AWS Cloud Cost Optimization He ..read more

How insisive cloud uses AWS Lambda
Insisive Cloud | Blog
by Shivaranjani Ramakrishnan

AWS Lambda has so many use-cases. We’re an early-stage cloud cost optimization startup and we’ve found AWS Lambda to be so useful in terms of scaling and ease of use when compared to putting our code on an EC2 server. Lambda scales effortlessly and integrates easily with other aws services and makes the case for building amazing loosely coupled and high cohesion microservices. They are extremely cheap as they follow the ‘pay as you use’ model. From our experience, most of our functions run pretty quickly and we’ve never really been too affected by Cold Starts as we use lambda functions for sen ..read more

All You Need to Remember Before Going serverless with AWS Lambda
Insisive Cloud | Blog
by Shivaranjani Ramakrishnan
3y ago
AWS (Amazon Web Services) Lambda is a high-scale, provision-free serverless compute offering based on functions. It’s easy to use and seems relatively cheap so everyone seems to be trying it out, but before that, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. 1. Lambda Cold Start What exactly is a cold start? By definition ‘A cold start refers to the set-up time required to get a serverless application’s environment up and running when it is invoked for the first time within a defined period’. When you create a new lambda function a container is created for it and further executions take place ..read more

Is Serverless Computing Really Serverless?
Insisive Cloud | Blog
by Shivaranjani Ramakrishnan
3y ago
Everyone seems to be climbing onto the ‘serverless’ bandwagon in the tech world, from our favourite entertainment provider Netflix, to fashion retail companies like Nordstorm, not only for their testing environment but in production. With such tech giants embracing serverless, it’s safe to say that it is here to stay. But, is serverless really serverless? Where will your code run if not on a server? Serverless does not mean your code is not running on a server, instead, your cloud provider runs the server. It is a cloud-computing execution model in which the cloud provider runs the server, and ..read more

by Shivaranjani Ramakrishnan
3y ago
In our previous post, we spoke about what serverless is, and the general architecture of AWS Lambda. In this post, we will get a more hands-on feel of the Lambda function and how to go about using it. To get started you need to have an AWS account. AWS offers an AWS free tier account for a year. So if you don’t have an account, create one and get started. How AWS Lambda Works? Before we start to write our first lambda function lets us understand how it works. In general, the whole idea behind serverless is for us to run our code when needed and not worry about managing a server. Now, for our c ..read more
