newvem's utilization heat map
DESCRIPTION
Newvem's Utilization Heatmap enables you to visualize your 30-day cloud usage by hour, region, business activity and more at a glance. Check out this presentation and learn how you can: *Get the most out of your available capacity *Move consistent usage to a cheaper plan *Increase utilization to meet peak hour demandTRANSCRIPT

Newvem’s Key Takeaways3 Main Takeaways • Free
• Make better capacity decisions with trend, burst, and peak analysis• Identify consistent workloads that can be more effectively utilized in a non-
EC2 environment (RI, hybrid or private clouds)• Benchmark variable vs. consistent workloads over 30 day time series• Identify if you are auto-scaling in the appropriate time frames
• Premium• Reduce total cost of ownership and increase AWS usage effectiveness• Visualize AWS usage by business activity and organization• Make better capacity decisions based on usage via instance type, region,
availability zone, and much more
Cloud Heat Maps – Why
Cloud Heat Maps by Newvem bridge the gap between AWS usage data and knowing what needs to be improved.
Heat Maps by Newvem visualize AWS usage intuitively.
3
Cloud Heat Maps - Objectives
• Problem: AWS is a utility that needs to be measured in order to be managed
• Solution: Cloud Heat Maps allow customers to discover and model their compute resources consumption over the course of a month

Make better capacity decisions through burst and peak trend analyses
Heat Maps by Newvem
What is my utilization during peak hours?
Identify consistent workloads that can be more effectively utilized in a non-On-Demand environment (i.e. RI, hybrid or private clouds)
Do I have consistent usage so I can move my cloud to a cheaper platform?
Benchmark variable VS consistent workloads over 30 day time-series
Am I auto-scaling with demand?

Reduce total cost of ownership by increasing AWS resource utilization
Heat Maps by Newvem
How can I see my overall AWS usage as consumed during the course of the month?
Visualize AWS usage by top level business activity
Can my AWS resources support my top 10% customer base during peak hours?
Make better capacity decisions based on usage via instance type, region, availability zone, and much more
How efficiently are my current AWS resources utilized across all of my regions and availability zones?

Sample production environment (consistent usage)
All of the resources are used 100% of the time
This represents usages that could be moved to a cheaper & consistent cloud solution (i.e. RI or hybrid cloud)

Consistent Workloads –– Discovery and Modeling
Identify consistent levels of usage for specific compute instance workloads:
Instance type – Region/Availability Zone – Platform
See what instance types were in use for each hour over the course of 30 days
Cloud Heat Maps for Reserved Instance Purchases
• Identify consistent levels of compute instance workload consumption for every hour of the past 30 days
• Study consumption over the course of 30 days and see which workloads can be purchased as fixed capacity– Workload: Instance Type – Region/Availability Zone–
Platform– Fixed capacity: Reserved Instances, dedicated servers,
hybrid/private clouds

Reserved Instance Purchase Recommendations
Identify consistent levels of consumption for compute instance workload

Reserved Instances Consumption – Discovery and Modeling
Identify consistent levels of usage of the reserved capacity
See what reserved instances were in use for each hour over the course of a
month
Cloud Heat Maps for Active Reserved Instances
• Identify levels of reserved instance usage for every hour of the past 30 days
• Track usage over the course of a month and see how efficiently reserved instances are utilized– Justify Reserved Instance inventory levels– Identify Reserved Instance underutilized capacity
• Workload: Instance Type – Availability Zone/Region – Platform
• Move existing workloads to available capacity• Recycle redundant capacity in the marketplace
