• Looking for a decent (self hostable) program to orchestrate scripts, notify on failures, etc

  After moving off Jenkins, I moved everything to AWS Batch with Fargate. This works quite well, but it is proving to be a little expensive, as I have to pay for:. Source: 10 months ago

• Hosting strategy suggestions

  If you're looking for more control over your infrastructure and want to run a full computing environment, EC2 might be the right choice for you. With EC2, you have complete control over the operating system, network, and storage, which can be useful if you need to install custom software or use specific hardware configurations. Additionally, EC2 + Batch processing provide a wider range of instance types, including... Source: about 1 year ago

• Questions for bioinformatics researchers that use AWS

  AWS Batch is the equivalent of a university cluster you submit to with slurm/sge/lsf/etc. But does not use those schedulers as AWS has their own. Source: about 1 year ago

• Scheduling "Fetch & Run" Batch Jobs with AWS Batch and CloudWatch Rules

  Developers frequently use batch computing to access significant amounts of processing power. You may perform batch computing workloads in the AWS Cloud with the aid of AWS Batch, a fully managed service provided by AWS.

• Is k8s Kops preferable than eks?

  FWIW, I am also a big spot.io fan for our workload. During the holidays I run 30-50% spot instances and run 100% spot most of the year. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there anything else we can use beside tags and Cost Explorer to keep track of costs?

  Also, you definitely should look into Reservations, and (sale pitch coming) Spot can help you manage those. Source: over 1 year ago

• AWS spot instances for CI jobs

  All of this is on spot-instances. We used spot.io (I believe the product is called "Ocean") and they basically took care of all the backend logic to make spot-instances available for the ECS cluster. Source: about 2 years ago

• If I just focus on K8S does the Cloud provider matter much (GKE, EKS etc)

  Does cloud provider matter? I would say/think so. Not just cloud provider, but further more, how you set it up, which begets cloud provider. Are you setting it up with only the aws cli? Or did you terraform it? Maybe you chose a particular terraform module or maybe you used eksctl. Maybe you used kops or kubeadm. All these things matter when you get to cluster autoscaling, tainting particular node types to... Source: almost 3 years ago
