AWS EMR usage/cost insights

I am looking to validate a tool I built for companies / individuals with large AWS implementations. My solution will identify the individual cost of each map-reduce job/run in the cloud without any legwork like tagging jobs or working backwards from an invoice. At this time I am looking for feedback, please check it out @ https://www.clustercost.com Once you see the data my product provides, you can easily identify which jobs incur the highest cost, identify bottlenecks, and nail down the suboptimal processing routines. A quick test could be performed as easy as this: -…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I am looking to validate a tool I built for companies / individuals with large AWS implementations. My solution will identify the individual cost of each map-reduce job/run in the cloud without any legwork like tagging jobs or working backwards from an invoice. At this time I am looking for feedback, please check it out @ https://www.clustercost.com Once you see the data my product provides, you can easily identify which jobs incur the highest cost, identify bottlenecks, and nail down the suboptimal processing routines. A quick test could be performed as easy as this: - Create an account in Amazon AWS (IAM) - Assign the roles that grant read-only access into reading the historical / current data ( the exact JSON is provided at the homepage ) - Put the access key / secret key into the test form on the homepage, and review the results. Alternatively, 'test' / 'test' credentials could be used to peek into the UI. If you think that this is something that you can try in your organization - please let me know. I can also help with the DevOps stuff and resource optimization for AWS platform.

    I built a service to help companies save on their AWS bills2020 · ▲73

    Hey HN: I'm Kaveh, the founder of Usage (https://www.usage.ai/) We help companies drive down AWS costs. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. Stakeholders, especially engineers, are required to spend unnecessary time manually finding underutilized or overly expensive EC2s. We believe the optimization process should be done automatically through a series of sophisticated algorithms. At the moment, there are over 70,000 AWS EC2 prices - doing that manually just won't scale at most organizations. My background is in software engineering. Previous to founding Usage, I…

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS EC2 spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically,…

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched a new free tool to help engineers understand their AWS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up end up becoming cloud accountants or end up forking over a big % of their AWS bill for a tool to understand costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups.

    See AWS Costs for Each Resource2022 · ▲8

    Link: https://www.vantage.sh/features/per-resource-costs Hi HN, I'm Co-Founder and CEO of Vantage and we just made "Per-Resource Costs" available to everyone, including users in our free tier. Vantage will now show you the cost of each individual AWS resource (EC2 instance, RDS instance, S3 Bucket, SNS Topic, Lambda Function, etc). You can drill down into each resource to see subcategory costs so imagine seeing specific egress costs being tied to a specific Cloudfront distribution or EC2 instance. This works by Vantage ingesting and processing Cost and Usage Reports from…
