Overview of the Project
CreditMantri was rapidly growing and hence required an automated solution for some of the cloud management tasks which were incurring high costs due to manual efforts.
Challenges
EC2 instances used for non-production environment had to be manually switched off. This created chances of the unused EC2 instances left running incurring unwanted costs.
Developers were unaware when the disk space was full and EBS volumes linked to EC2 instances had to be increased manually.
At times, temporary access to certain server was required to perform a set of tasks. The provision and then removal of access had to be done manually.
Solution
Automated workflow was set up in Tevico to switch EC2 instances on and off for non-production environment.
When EBS volume crossed set threshold value, developer groups were configured in Tevico to receive Slack and email notifications and EBS volume was increased automatically.
The process of providing temporary machine access was automated in Tevico. Automated scripts were written using Tevico to provide temporary machine access to users and to remove access after a pre-defined retention period.
Benefits
Possibility of human error in stopping the unused non-production EC2 instances has been avoided owing to automation.
Cost saving by removal of any chances of any unused non-production EC2 instances left running.
Removal of manual intervention for repetitive task has saved costs and efforts.
Developer is alerted in case the EBS volume is approaching full capacity.
Risk of running out of disk space has been averted.
