Cost Explorer
Amorphic Cost Explorer allows you to keep track of your costs associated with the usage of AWS services and the Amorphic platform over a period of a month. This feature provides you with an overview of your costs and also gives you the ability to drill down and see the cost incurred for each individual service.
The Usage by Service section allows you to view the cost breakdown per service, and select the specific service you want to see the cost details for. This feature helps you monitor your spending, identify any unnecessary costs and optimize your usage of the services. You will also get alerts about resources every twelve hours to clean up or
terminate those resources for cost savings.
You can view two type of costings:
Licenses & Billings- Costs you incur over a month for AWS services and Amorphic platform.High Costing Resources- Shows 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.
