Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) eases deploying and running Kubernetes on the AWS platform. A fully managed Kubernetes service, EKS eliminates the need to install, configure, or maintain Kubernetes nodes or control planes on your own. With EKS, you can leverage the performance, scalability, and availability of AWS infrastructure, along with integrations with multiple AWS compute, storage, security, serverless, and networking services.

As businesses generate, capture, and seek to analyze more data than ever before, they often find themselves limited by high data storage costs, expensive data processing fees, and high management overhead. For organizations who wish to expand their log analytics programs and become more data-driven, maximizing cost efficiency has become a critical operational objective.

Whether you’re new to Kubernetes or a bona fide wizard, it may seem like getting any meaningful cost data out of it is a miracle. This is because many organizations that migrate to Kubernetes unwittingly step into the Black Box of Kubernetes Spend. In pre-Kubernetes life, teams could allocate costs by tagging resources.

The Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) enables Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to manage, operate, and scale their databases. A managed service, RDS provides seven database engines and multiple instance sizes and types for working with relational databases. AWS also claims RDS can match the performance, scalability, and availability of commercial databases for a tenth of the price. Is this true, and how much does Amazon RDS cost really? This guide explains how Amazon RDS pricing works.

Business leaders frequently need to make decisions that could impact the entire future of a company. Armed with pages of data and financial reports, many executives choose to slash costs, double efforts on certain products over others, or otherwise forge ahead with major decisions about cloud usage, spending, and overall business strategy. Great choices could mean huge profits, but unwise choices could spell doom for the business as a whole.

The Amazon Redshift data cloud provides a fast, secure, and widely accessible data warehouse solution. It is an ideal platform for performing complex analytics and processing large data sets. In addition to supporting multi-parallel processing (MPP), Redshift is also a type of Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) database. Yet, one of Redshift’s main selling points is its cost-effectiveness over alternatives like Snowflake and BigQuery. Is this the case? What is the actual cost of Amazon Redshift?

Although there are many great tools out there to get on top of application monitoring, there’s one vital metric that’s often overlooked by us technical folks – cost. In the days of running apps on servers in private datacenters, the kit was a one-time purchase that the systems team had to deal with. But running apps in public clouds is a different story. Whether you’re running on VMs, containers in Kubernetes, or entirely serverless, execution of your code adds to the bill.

Bill shock stemming from surprisingly high cloud bills remains a persistent concern for enterprises that have migrated to the cloud. Cloud service providers often market the cloud as a highly effective means to lower operational costs. By moving their applications and processes to cloud-hosted infrastructures, organizations are saving money that would have gone to datacenters, hardware, and personnel.
