1.  Deploy a physical server 2.  Use virtualization for multiple VMs on one piece of

hardware 3.  Rent server space on someone else’s hardware

What is “cloud waste”?

9

Forms of Cloud Waste

10

●  Non-production resources running when not in use ○  44% of workloads are classified as non-production (test, development,

staging, QA) and don’t need to run 24x7 ●  Orphaned storage volumes and old snapshots

○  7% of cloud spend is on unused storage ●  Oversized resources

○  55% of all public cloud resources are not correctly sized for their workloads

●  Duplicate and EOL resources ○  15% of cloud spend is resources which are no longer used

What is DevOps?

12

7

Common DevOps Tenants

13

●  Holistic thinking ●  Eliminate silos ●  Feedback ●  Automation

Holistic Thinking

14

●  Think about the entire business, not just your team ●  Utilize a variety of approaches to a problem ●  Balance long-term and short-term goals ●  Use all tools at your disposal

11/10/17

8

Eliminate Silos

15

●  Access is not limited to one person ●  Involve multiple team members for a variety in perspectives ●  Make knowledge accessible to all ●  Ensure that your task is not making someone else’s task harder

Feedback

16

●  Monitoring and alerting is critical ●  Test-driven development ●  Errors should be descriptive enough to be actionable ●  Open team communication

11/10/17

9

Automation

17

●  Not just scripting ●  Eliminate human error ●  “Tagging is life” ●  Break down larger tasks into smaller automated pieces

How DevOps processes can reduce cloud waste

18

10

High-level Goals

19

●  Think and act for the business, not your department ●  Involve everyone in cost optimization measures ●  Keep visibility high ●  Automate cost savings ●  Department-based reporting

DevOps + Cloud = Reduced Waste

20

●  Holistic Thinking ○  Cross-department use of resources ○  Consider PaaS or SaaS instead of IaaS

●  Eliminate Silos ○  Make cost reports available to all ○  Reuse resources when appropriate

●  Feedback ○  Report on current spending ○  Alert when costs exceed expectations

●  Automation ○  Automate right-sizing ○  Scheduled shutdown of unused resources

Utilizing Continuous Cost Control

21

CI/CD -> CCC

22

●  Minor tweaks to your automated services can save money ●  Costs should be a controlled factor, not a result ●  Regularly revisit past decisions and outputs ●  Sustainability is important for continuous delivery

11/10/17

12

What this looks like in an Enterprise

●  Code ○  Shut down instances when not working on them

●  Build ○  Automated tools for minimal footprint

●  Test ○  Use spot instances for optimal costs

●  Deploy ○  Use Reserved Instances for lower price

●  Operate ○  Auto Scaling Groups for elasticity

●  Monitor ○  Track utilization to ensure proper instance sizes
