System
Immutable and stateless systems built from version controlled machines images, regularly validated & updated through configuration management.
Can you auto scale systems on demand without worrying about expenses? If not, Here's why :
Manual changes making each server "a work of art".
Stateful systems leading to non-zero downtimes for upgrades, backups & restoration, no high availability.
Scaling becomes time consuming and costly.
"Systems" is the first layer from which you will start noticing operational expenses since it's the first chargeable service that you will encounter in building cloud infra today. (Basic network setup on cloud is negligible). Although every business in todays’ digitally transformed work aims at becoming the bestseller in its domain by delivery quality apps and services. However none of them are running businesses without a budget.
Heres what should be done:
Summary
What you need ?
A compute service that is easy to scale out on demand during happy hours.
Servers that are secured enough to host public facing applications.
Prevent overspending or underspending on infrastructure
How you can achieve these ?
Immutable and stateless compute servers built from version controlled machine images standardised across all environments enhanced with automated horizontal scaling on demand.
Regular validation of system hardening , patching and upgrades through configuration management systems.
Prepaid hosting plan for servers.
