Again, fair comment.
Frankly, I'm still figuring out what this would be worth to smaller organisations.
ARGOS really scales by AWS Account / Azure Subscription / GCP Project right now and I'm currently charging "for each...".
I know what Enterprises are paying for ARGOS and some larger SMB, but not clear on what value smaller orgs or even startups assign to this problem.
- bluehatbrit 5y agoThat's completely reasonable, thanks for the insight!
- ldoughty 5y agokeep in mind, AWS best practices (and IAM limitations, for those without resources/time to finely craft the boundaries) encourage account sprawl... Not all customers spread out like we do... but I manage over 50 AWS accounts, and our DevOps team is 7 FTE... Our application/situation is admittedly unusual, but I could easily see a small business using 10 accounts to manage their org and a single "product"
- david_obrien 5y agoI used to be a consultant building exactly those designs, limit the blast radius, have separate accounts etc. "In the earlier days" of ARGOS that's exactly why I didn't charge per Account, but different ways (tried # of resources, then % of spend) and people were always confused. Similar to the "take the price off the website" that customers told me, me charging per Account is also what customers asked me to do. What do you think would a good unit be for a product like this? I'm happy to try anything really, as long as it helps companies be more secure.
