Sharesave Realized Dashboard for Scheduler Recommendations

Starting this week, nOps ShareSave now includes the ShareSave Realized dashboard for scheduler recommendations. With this addition, users can now see their total savings, net savings, and annualized net savings realized from their scheduled recommendation through the ShareSave program.

nOps ShareSave allows you to schedule resources to shutdown automatically according to recommended schedules. Once the schedules are implemented the nOps ShareSave looks at the absence of usage for the scheduled resources at the specified times in the CUR file. This absence of usage is savings that have been realized which the user can see in the ShareSave realized page for scheduled resources.

To learn more about ShareSave, visit our ShareSave Page , read our Solutions Brief or see the documentation.

Scheduler got more Insights!

This week, nOps introduced a column of count of schedules in nOps Scheduler > Create New Schedule > Attach Resources modal, and Recommendation Visualization Graph feature in the recommendations table of nOps ShareSave.

Column for schedule count: With the number of schedules feature, nOps customers —while creating a schedule— when they click on Attach Resources, will be able to see the number of schedules a resource belongs to in the Schedule column of the Attach Resource modal. This column will allow the customer to properly formulate a plan for the resources that are configured to shutdown via several schedules.

Recommendation Visualization: With this new recommendation visualization graph feature in the recommendations table of nOps ShareSave, nOps customers can see resource usage in graphs based on CPU usage. This feature offers the ability to see the details of actual resource usage and nOps recommendation in the same graph, a visual representation of the recommended schedule and how it relates to the times when the resource is in use. Users can select days (limited to the days that are present in the recommendation) from a drop-down list and filter the day for which they want to see the actual usage and recommendation. If there are multiple recommendations for one resource then this feature will show all recommended time periods in the graph for the selected day. The graphs, for each recommended day of the week, represent an hourly breakdown of usage on X-axis and CPU usage (from 0 to 100) on the y-axis.

Features Tweaks and Improvements.

This week at nOps we dedicated our time to improve the overall User experience of nOps and tweaked existing features as better UX along with some improvements always makes a huge difference and that's also one of the nOps fundamentals to keep on making such tweaks so that engineers get better hands-on experience without any performance issues.

Better and Improved

CIS Dashboard: The CIS Dashboard now offers clearer visibility of rule violations and you can also click the arrow icon under the Action column to see more details even if there are no violations. This allows you more visibility in the CIS Dashboard and enables you to make better decisions for the security of your infrastructure.

To see the updated version, visit CIS Dashboard.

CloudFormation Stack with IAM Policy: nOps CloudFormation Stack now supports dynamic CloudFormation for each customer for IAM role. The CloudFormation now also has a separate section for the IAM role deny list.

This will allow you more control over the IAM permissions, adding specific permission to the allow and deny list. You can add such permission in the deny list that you deem unnecessary or sensitive. You can also tweak the permissions in the allow section depending on your use case and required services from nOps.

To see the updated version, visit CloudFormation Stack with IAM Policy.

Scheduler: You will now only see resources from the selected cloud account when you search for resources with the help of the search bar while attaching resources to be scheduled using the Scheduler.  You can now search any resource by entering instance id/name with the help of our new and improved search feature.

To learn more about Schedulers, visit Scheduler page

Well-Architected Now Even Faster

Well-Architected partner portal page is now better and faster with an even more initiative UI. This new version of the Well-Architected page still retains the same functionality as the previous version but comes with a newer look, free of bugs, and offers a faster UI. This is mostly the performance tuning of this page and now partners will be saving time to scroll through the list of all the partner clients and get the insights and details way faster than before.

Multiple recommendations, Multiple Schedules, More Flexibility

nOps strives to make improvements every week to deliver new updates and new features to its customers in order to have better control over their cloud spending and to have better options to save money.

ShareSave Scheduler - Configure Multiple Schedulers 

With our new update this week for ShareSave, you will see multiple recommendations for scheduling one resource, e.g., Monday from 2-4am and Monday from 3-6pm, based on different confidence levels specifically curated for you by our AI. These recommendations will never overlap.

With this new feature, you now have the option to create multiple schedules for a single resource on the same day resulting in more savings. You can also apply your own intimate knowledge of your infrastructure to schedule all the recommendations or a single recommendation for a single resource.

In the previous version of ShareSave, the recommendations were only limited to single recommendations for one resource.

Review your recommendations now.

More Recommendations, More Savings

Scheduling recommendations are now even better with even more recommendations and a greater level of confidence in each recommendation.

With this update each recommendation will have a much higher confidence level in cutting down unnecessary costs. Implement the recommended schedules with the highest confidence levels and start reducing your cloud spending as soon as the schedule takes effect.

Before this update, the scheduling recommendations were limited in number with a respectable confidence level.

To learn more, see nOps ShareSave Scheduler Recommendations.

EventBridge - More Flexibility

The latest push to EventBridge allows you to configure on any region regardless of where the S3 bucket CUR file was created, e.g., creating an EventBridge connection on us-west-2 however S3 CUR file is in us-east-1.

With this feature you can have one EventBridge configuration and can use it to schedule resources on any region and nOps AI will make sure that those schedules work as expected. This also gives you the flexibility of reusing the same EventBridge configuration instead of creating a new one for every region. 

Previously, for the EventBridge configuration, you were only allowed to use regions where the S3 bucket with the CUR file was created.

To learn more, see Getting Started with EventBridge.

What's New

ShareSave - Even More Savings

Scheduler: In ShareSave Resource Schedule Recommendations, you can now schedule resources directly with a single click. You can now create new schedules or attach resources to existing schedules directly from the ShareSave List of Opportunities. No need to switch dashboards or open different dashboards in different tabs to get everything right. nOps has made it even easier for you to schedule and save money. To learn more, see nOps ShareSave Scheduler Recommendations.

Graviton: We cut no corners when it comes to saving the hard-earned money of our clients. To this end, nOps proudly announces another chapter of savings, Graviton recommendations. With these recommendations, you’ll be able to estimate the savings of migrating workloads to Graviton. To learn more, see Graviton Recommendations.

Risk-Free Commitments: Let our AI take the helm and bring in unimaginable savings against your EC2 and RDS reserved instances based on Risk-Free Commitments Recommendations. You don’t even need to lift a finger, no action is required. Sit back and watch your savings grow. To learn more, see ShareSave - List of Risk-Free Commitments.

Scheduler - Better Than Ever

Our scheduler automatically pauses resources during non peak hours, however, sometimes it’s required to start those resources. We now allow users to start the resources. Our scheduler dashboard provides all of the resources that are scheduled to be paused or are currently paused. 

Pulling out your hair in frustration? Don’t know how to keep track of your idle EC2 and RDS instances across different regions? nOps Scheduler is here to save your precious hair. nOps Scheduler now also supports EC2 and RDS scheduling across different regions. Keep your lush thick hair intact and let nOps shower you with savings that will keep hair on your head for a very long time.

Tired of comparing UTC to your local time zone every time you need to create a schedule? We know your frustrations. nOps proudly announces the integration of local time zones in the Scheduler. You create a schedule, you see your local time alongside UTC. The schedule is already created? Hover over the time to see a popup with your equivalent local time. No more Googling for time conversion, no more hassle.

EventBridge - More Automation, More Savings

Here at nOps, our motto is to make savings as easy as 1, 2, 3, and done. nOps recently introduced automatic Stack creation for EventBridge with a single click. With the help of EventBridge, you can automate any nOps optimization recommendation, and the automated stack creation now makes it easier than ever. Simply click Launch Stack in the EventBridge Integration page to create the stack.

Announcing a Full View of Aggregate Resource Costs

Are you regularly perplexed by resource costs? 

When you review lists of resources related to costs at an account level, or even a service level, the individual resource costs often don’t add up to the entire bill. Sometimes there are orthogonal costs like Operation costs which fall into a separate bucket from the resource, sometimes there are taxes, credits, or other charges. It's difficult to understand how non-resource related costs contribute to your bill. 

We wanted to improve the experience around seeing the impact of credits on your bill. Therefore, we've now added access to a CSV download for you to consume the full resource list and added a row for the aggregate cost of the remaining resources.

Check it out in the console today!
