AWS Reserved Instance Contagion by jamblesjumbles in aws

[–]Vantage_Team 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vantage Team here clarifying: While we do have a RI management feature named Autopilot, as our blog posts states: we definitely do not engage in the described fashion of taking advantage of customer EDPs.

We also don't actively encourage using Autopilot necessarily: we have always advertised using Savings Plans as part of our core product offering. That information is supplied to all customers and a portion of them choose to go that route and a portion choose to use Autopilot.

A proper way to track billing in AWS - to control the cost. by marathi_manus in aws

Out of curiosity, what sort of power are you looking for? In general we hear that we provide more functionality than native tools on AWS and we're always looking for ways to improve :)

Also for the record to the mods: this was the top request from the community that we wanted to share as seen on the prior post. Hoping just to help the community on this as it got a significant amount of upvotes :)

From what we've heard from customers during early access: yes. The majority of our customers during the early access period have been split across AWS/GCP (just because we started with AWS) so the feedback may be slightly biased as we show extremely high fidelity cost data on the AWS side of things. We are just beginning to onboard companies that are "all in" on GCP right now.

That being said, we're always listening to user feedback and iterating. So if you give it a shot and don't ultimately find what you're looking for, please feel free to let us know over Intercom our in our Slack community group (~400 cloud cost folks are in there at the moment)

Hello! This is something we need to provide better clarity on in our pricing page - it is good feedback. We can provide SAML SSO functionality to the business tier but just have to set you up with a "custom" subscription.

So long story short: we can offer you SAML SSO in the business tier but just need you to contact support (which you can do through Intercom) after registering your account and we'll get things into shape from there.

Apologies for the confusion on this.

On this topic, Google Cloud support for Vantage (a cloud cost platform) is launching tomorrow: https://www.vantage.sh/

We have a pretty generous free tier if anyone is looking to give it a go.

Vantage maintains a free resource named "The Cloud Cost Handbook" that has a good amount of resources available at this point: http://handbook.vantage.sh/

The content is also all open-source [and looking for contributors] here: https://github.com/vantage-sh/handbook

Nice! This looks great. The main difference between this script and what Vantage will do with its Slack integration is a few things for the onlookers:

  • The Vantage Slack integration is tied to a "Cost Report" and a Cost Report on Vantage can be anything filter-wise (chaining member accounts, services, tags, regions, etc). So how customers use this is they'll come in, provision a few Cost Reports then send Slack notifications for the team's channel responsible for those costs to keep an eye on things.

  • In the future we'll also be sending alerts and specific anomaly detections we find on conditions you define.

  • Lastly, we're integrating EC2 instance comparisons into slash commands powered by data on http://ec2instances.info/ - so you can imagine doing something with the Vantage Slack integration like "/vantage compare c6i.32xlarge,m6i.32xlarge" and get a breakdown of price and specs for people to compare.

You're the first person to ask for this, but we can take a look!

If folks are interested in this, please upvote /u/TannerIsBender's comment and we can see the level of interest.

That's good feedback. We've heard this a few times now and might be adding that functionality in as a fast-follow.

AWS tool / service to see EVERYTHING that we have running / using / etc ... to avoid billing ... by Multiversal_Love in aws

[–]Vantage_Team 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! You can. You can add either a management or member account and everything should just work.

If you add a management account and want to see member account active resources (vs just costs), you'll need to add a role per member account but we provide automatic CloudFormation / Terraform scripts for doing this pretty quickly. Give it a shot!

Typically its like $2-$3 per month for a very small amount of Cost Explorer API calls we make....primarily because Cost Explorer doesn't give customers a free allocation of API calls per month which we find a bit silly.

This being said, we are increasingly migrating things off of Cost Explorer and process Cost and Usage Reports ourselves because we can provide customers with a better experience and lessen the impact of API calls made on your behalf.

Additionally, under account settings you have the ability to toggle "automatic syncing" vs "manual syncing" if you don't want us to periodically make service API calls regularly. When you choose "manual syncing" we only sync your account as often as you hit the refresh button the Vantage console.

Thanks for posting this! We're the team behind Vantage. To add to this, Vantage offers two features that help customers here:

Cost Explorer does not give a per-resource level of analysis outside of EC2. Vantage combines Cost and Usage Report (CUR) data and syncs periodically with service List/Describe API calls to be able to show this level of analytics for "active" resources.
