Proposal: Armory Harpoon for AWS Cost Management
Aug 29, 2017 by Armory
Before we build a feature into our Enterprise distribution of Spinnaker, we ask current & prospective customers how valuable it would be for them. You can find all of our Proposed Features here.
We’ve been hearing from enterprise customers that over-provisioning cloud resources is the single biggest cause of waste in their cloud accounts. We’re proposing **Armory Harpoon**, an integration utilizing a system like CloudHealth to provide in-context notifications and actionability from within Spinnaker that reduces over-provisioning by:
- Enforcing a company’s tagging standards on all AWS resources
- Integrating with CloudHealth (and Cloudability, etc) to drive alerts on over-provisioning
- Providing in-context notifications within Spinnaker to service owners when a service should be right-sized – and a link to review the proposed right-sizing action and approve it
- Right-sizing server groups exceeding daily budgets
Here is a video demonstrating the system, with some screenshots below.
