EPAM Syndicate RightSizer Perfecting Cloud with Smart Recommendations
EPAM Syndicate RightSizer
Solution Overview
EPAM Syndicate RightSizer is an ML-empowered offering that reviews the existing infrastructure resources in terms of their configuration, workload, and lifecycle, and produces the recommendations to fine-tune the resources to match the workload patterns, all accompanied by expected cost savings/raise.
The recommendation is a per-resource or per-resource group list of possible actions to perform of the following types:
-
Resize (scale up or scale down) instance - change the instance type within the current
-
Split - split a single instance workload into several instances, each facing a specific workload type for it
-
Schedule - create start/stop schedules for the instance to be cost effective without affecting its capacity
-
Shut down - terminate the instance due to the low to no load
The recommendations are built based on up to 90 days of instances performance story, which increases the accuracy of the recommendations (as compared to the tools with the shorter timeframe coverage).
Syndicate RightSizer tailors its recommendations based on the customer's previous responses, ensuring it avoids suggesting changes that are likely to be seen as not useful or relevant according to the resource usage context. The recommendations are available via RESTful API, .json files, or via CLI tool. The small underlying infrastructure (one EC2 instance with minimum permissions) allows to get high value with minimum effect on the budget.
The solution API can be used for effective convenient integrations and additional visualization.
Customer Problem
An enterprise has virtual infrastructure that needs to be regularly reviewed to be cost effective, safe, and efficient. The lack of automation and unification across multiple clouds makes this even harder, and human error can lead to mistakes.
This can affect both the review and planned changes, and make them less effective.
Thus, there is a need for a system that can automate virtual instances reviews, and suggest effective resizing and lifecycle management in a convenient and unified way.
EPAM Solution
EPAM Syndicate RightSizer collects information about virtual instances configuration and performance across public clouds, and provides recommendations, aimed at configuration and lifecycle changes to result into performance and cost effectiveness increase.
Each recommendation is accompanied by an estimation of the change affect on the infrastructure cost.
Initially provided in .JSON files, the reports can be easily restyled into a more convenient format, or processed for a detailed analysis.
Key Differentiators
Multi-cloud
Supports AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack clouds. All reports are delivered in a unified format for convenient processing.
Customizable
The possibility to customize thresholds and timeframes allows analytics fine-tuning for specific workloads.
Large historical data
Use the performance data for up to 60 days to detect long-cycle patterns for better results.
Benefits
Quick start
The solution can use provider’s instance data right after installation.
Visible cost changes
Each recommendation includes the expected effect on the infrastructure cost.
Cross-cloud unification
Unified recommendation format for AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Integration with SIEM systems
DefectDojo included by default. Additional integrations are possible.
Features
- AI-empowered engine – analyses instances' daily workload and capacity to figure out if any optimization is possible
- Multiple recommendation types – receive suggestions on up/down scaling, scheduling, splitting the workload or shutdown
- Expected savings – for each recommendation, get an expected monthly savings
- Large timeframes for better results – analyses the data for up to 60 days which increases the accuracy of the recommendations (as compared to the tools with the shorter timeframe coverage)
- Small underlying infrastructure – the product needs two EC2 instances and two S3 buckets, with minimum permissions
- User-led customization – the recommendations are customized based on the customer's responses, ensuring it avoids suggesting changes that are likely to be seen as not useful or irrelevant according to the resource usage context.
