With regards to AWS RDS & EC2 multi-az deploys and cost...buy reserved instances! It is much cheaper if you can afford to pay up front for 1yr or 3 years at a time.
- jmstfv 7y agoI do consider that but I'm still early in this game. My AWS spending is $1.38/day on EC2 and $1.05/day on RDS, all covered by AWS credit: https://tryhexadecimal.com/costs https://tryhexadecimal.com/costs
- threeseed 7y agoFor EC2 you really should be using spot fleets and making sure your architecture can support instances coming and going.
- randlet 7y agoI need to keep exactly two instances running (in separate AZs) and will never need to scale up beyond that...is it still worth investigating spot fleets in this case?
