When companies or projects try to choose the right distribution for Kubernetes, they know most have similar features. High availability, resilience, support, addons for storage, security, etc. It comes to the single most important thing when making a decision. Cost.

In the first part of this series, we discussed general Kubernetes cost optimization strategies. Now, further delve into Amazon Web Services (AWS) specific strategies to optimize your Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) costs. This part focuses on leveraging AWS services, understanding pricing models, and implementing AWS-specific features for cost-effective EKS management.

Effective cost management begins with robust monitoring and logging. Start with cloud provider dashboards and virtualization technology interfaces for basic insights. Install metrics-server to leverage commands like kubectl top pods and kubectl top nodes for real-time data. For comprehensive infrastructure monitoring, consider the kube-prometheus-stack, which includes Grafana, Prometheus, node-exporter, Alertmanager, and optionally Thanos.

Cloud Resume Challenge

Hello everyone, I am Fatih. I am working in the cloud area for over two years. Currently working as a DevOps Engineer at FTech Labs, we’re building a super app for crypto exchanges. Today our topic is Cloud Resume Challenge.

Motivation Link to heading

I had a website built with Django. I’ve dockerized it and deployed it to the EC2 instance. Turns out it keeps failing with a new error every time. Most of the time docker-compose can not manage to make it available on 7/24. I decided to keep it shut down. I kept thinking about creating a new website in a serverless way but it never happened. Always too busy with something and do not want to waste my time on a simple website. Then I found out Cloud Resume Challenge. It’s giving you the basic steps of a serverless portfolio website for beginners but there are so many people doing it with over +10 years of experience in IT. I thought I can test my skills with a challenge and make a website that doesn’t waste my time.
