The costs of cloud computing
Download as PPTX, PDF•1 like•583 views
The document provides a detailed analysis of cloud computing costs through the example of PutPlace, which transitioned to Amazon AWS, illustrating the architecture and core services. It breaks down expenses associated with compute instances, storage, bandwidth, and transactions, with historical cost data from 2008 and 2010. Key takeaways include the importance of understanding costs and the implications of code errors in cloud environments.

- 2. Real World Example : PutPlace • Launched in 2008 • Fully hosted in Amazon AWS • Ported from Dedicated Hosting • Full Break down of all Costs • This is real data – Warts and All • This is an IaaS Example http://twitter.com/jdrumgoole 2
- 4. Core Services • S3 : Storage – Blob Storage – Read and write up to 5GB files – Rest API/SOAP API – POSIX semantics via EBS • EC2 : Compute – Virtual Instances – Several Sizes – Local storage is volatile – Reserved Instances http://twitter.com/jdrumgoole 4
- 5. Core Costs • Resources – Running Compute instances – Stored Data • Bandwidth – Data in and out of Amazon – Data between different Amazon regions • Transactions – Reads and Writes to S3 http://twitter.com/jdrumgoole 5

- 16. Dedicated Hosting Costs • Co-Located Servers – $16,000 (including local disk + B/W) • But: – Long lead times for additional servers – 1 year leases – No durable storage http://twitter.com/jdrumgoole 16
- 17. What would I do Today • Same architecture • Use a POSIX distributed file system on nodes • Start will less redundancy • Work will more smaller instances • Look at Google App Engine for Web Pages/API • Use MySQL rather than Postgres • Worry less about scaling http://twitter.com/jdrumgoole 17
- 18. What you should learn • The mantra – Compute – Storage – Bandwidth – Transactions • Know your costs, check your bills • Code errors will now cost real money http://twitter.com/jdrumgoole 18
