Since the very first version, Epinio has made use of an internal S3 endpoint to store the user’s projects in the form of aggregated tarballs. Those objects are then downloaded and staged by the internal engine’s pipeline and, finally, they are deployed into the Kubernetes cluster as consumable applications. Epinio makes use of S3 as an internal private service. In this scenario, S3 can be thought of as an internal ephemeral cache with the purpose of storing temporary objects.
You're probably aware that downtime is expensive—but do you know how expensive it is? The short answer is—very. According to the Ponemon Institute, outages cost organizations an average of $9,000 per minute (or $540,000 per hour). That's why companies of all sizes are investing in incident management tools to reduce their downtime and improve the customer experience.
