AWS Route53 Spending Analytics

You have all your domains nicely imported into Route53 using Ylastic. You have scheduled backups of your zones to the S3 bucket of your choice for DR using Ylastic. You do have those zones backed up, right? You can view an audit trail of all the changes/additions/updates being made to your zones in Ylastic. And now you can view the spending break-down for all of those zones in Ylastic Plus. View the spending for the current month, previous month, curent year or the last year.

Amazon Simple Email Service Management

AWS recently released the Simple Email Service that provides an easy, cost-effective, and reliable way to add email sending functionality to your systems and applications. Ylastic just added support for managing this new shiny toy. In order to begin using the service, you will need to verify the email addresses used for sending.

Ses1

 

SES will send an email to the address with a verification link. Click the link and you are good to go.

Ses3

 

Once the address has been verified, your applications can start using the SES API to send emails. You can send out test emails from within Ylastic to check out the service.

Ses4

 

Each new SES account is placed in a sandbox, with limits and quotas imposed on the quantities of emails sent out. Emails can only be sent to verified addresses within this sandbox environment. These restrictions can be removed by requesting production access. Statistics are available so you can keep an eye on the service usage.

Ses5

 

The quotas and sending limits are dynamic, and adjusted by AWS as they monitor your usage of the service.

Ses6

Enjoy :-)

Do YOU know what you spent on AWS in 2010 ?

AWS continues to provide innovative pay-as-you-go infrastructure services, and we find more and more uses for them. Ylastic is built and run entirely on AWS, so we tend to rack up the expenses between production, and the various development and testing environments. But we do keep a close tab on our AWS spending, especially EC2 which is the largest component of our expenses. Ylastic helps us keep an eye on our spending on Ylastic. Here is a sampling from the spending analytics for one of our testing accounts for last year - 2010. 

Awsspend1

 

Visualize the division of your spending, so you know where to optimize. Spending too much on EBS snapshots? Maybe you dont need snapshots at such a frequent schedule. 

Awsspend3

Awsspend2

 

View spending by region - Most testing happens for this account in US East, hence the skewed spending.

Awsspend4

 

If you are on the go, you can still view and keep track of the spending data on your iPhone, Android or Blackberry6.

Awsspend5

Alerts when spending exceeds thresholds set by you? Yep, we got that. Even more spending related analytics on the way :-)
