What is FinOps in the cloud context?

Câu trả lời

FinOps (Financial Operations) is a cultural practice that brings financial accountability to the variable cloud spending model, combining engineering, finance and business. This approach enables teams to make data-driven decisions about tradeoffs between speed, cost and quality. FinOps encourages collaboration between developers, finance and operations to optimize cloud business value.

What is the main difference between Reserved Instances (RI) and Savings Plans in AWS?

Câu trả lời

Reserved Instances require commitment to a specific instance type (family, size, region) for 1 or 3 years, offering up to 72% discount. Savings Plans are more flexible: they automatically apply to different instance families, sizes and regions, as long as usage respects an hourly spending commitment ($/hour). Savings Plans generally offer better operational flexibility for dynamic architectures.

3

When to use Spot Instances in AWS?

Câu trả lời

Spot Instances offer up to 90% discount but can be interrupted with only 2 minutes notice. They are ideal for interruption-tolerant workloads: batch processing, CI/CD builds, data analysis, ML training. It's recommended to combine Spot with Auto Scaling Groups and diversification strategies (multiple instance types/AZs) to maximize availability. Never use Spot for critical databases or stateful services without replication.
