Cost Explorer
Amorphic Cost explorer feature in Amorphic allows the users to have a high level view of currently active high costing resources in the application.
Amorphic Cost explorer lists the following high costing service resources along with their approximate estimated cost:
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| Endpoints | Lists all the currently running active glue development endpoints |
| Notebooks | Lists all the currently running Machine learning notebooks |
| Jobs | Lists all the long running ETL jobs which are running for more than 2 hours. |
| Workflows | Lists all the long running workflows which are running for more than 2 hours. |
| Deep Search Indices | Lists all active deep search indices. |
| Entity Recognizers | Lists all entity recognizers created. |
| Streams | Lists all the currently active Streams. |
| Connection Instances | Lists all the currently active shared/non-shared DMS instances under Amorphic Connection. |
As the name suggests, Cost Explorer displays an approximate EstimatedCost of a resource(Eg. Streams, Endpoints, etc.), hence the cost calculation will vary if any of the resource is modified(updated) by user.
Whenever a resource gets modified by user, cost will be re-estimated based on the newly updated configuration(Eg. InstanceClass, AllocatedStorage, etc.) of a resource. Hence we try to show an EstimatedCost based on most recent configuration of a resource.
Apart from listing high costing services, cost explorer also proactively alerts users about their resources every twelve hours to clean up or terminate their resources for cost savings.
