TranscriptCorey: This episode is sponsored in part by our friends at Fairwinds. Whether you’re new to Kubernetes or have some experience under your belt, and then definitely don’t want to deal with Kubernetes, there are some things you should simply never, ever do in Kubernetes. I would say, “run it at all.” They would argue with me, and that’s okay because we’re going to argue about that. Kendall Miller, president of Fairwinds, was one of the first hires at the company and has spent the last six years the dream of disrupting infrastructure a reality while keeping his finger on the pulse of changing demands in the market, and valuable partnership opportunities. He joins senior site reliability engineer Stevie Caldwell, who supports a growing platform of microservices running on Kubernetes in AWS. I’m joining them as we all discuss what Dev and Ops teams should not do in Kubernetes if they want to get the most out of the leading container orchestrator by volume and complexity. We’re going to speak anecdotally of some Kubernetes failures and how to avoid them, and they’re going to verbally punch me in the face. Sign up now at fairwinds.com/never. That’s fairwinds.com/never.Pete: Hello, and welcome to the AWS Morning Brief: Fridays From the Field. I am Pete Cheslock.Jesse: I'm still Jesse DeRose.Pete: We're still here. And you can also be here by sending us your questions at lastweekinaws.com/QA. We're continuing our Unconventional Guide to AWS Cost Management series, and today we're talking about moving data. It's not cheap, is it?Jesse: No, it's definitely not cheap. It is expensive, and it's painful. And we're going to talk about why, today. And a reminder, if you haven't listened to some of the other episodes in this series, please go back and do so. Lots of really great information before this one and lots of really great information coming after this one. I'm really excited to dive in.Pete: Yeah, look, they're all great episodes in the end of the day, right? They're just all fantastic.Jesse: Yeah.Pete: If I do say so myself.Jesse: All of the information is important; all of the information is individually important—I think that's probably the best way to put it. You can listen to all these episodes and implement maybe just a handful of things that work best for you; you can listen to all these episodes and implement all of them, all of the suggestions. There's lots of opportunities here.Pete: If you do actually go and implement all of these suggestions, you really should go to lastweekinaws.com/QA and tell us about it. We'd be very curious to hear how it goes. But if you're struggling with any of these, just let us know as well. These are things that are measured in long periods of time. It is rare that we run into engagements with clients that you can just click box, save money. Now, don't get me wrong; there's a whole bunch of those, too. But if you want to just fundamentally improve how you're using the Cloud and how you're saving money, those projects are multi-year investments. It's just all of this stuff takes a long time. And you just got to manage those expectations appropriately. And specifically around this topic, moving data, it is—as Jesse said—painful. It is expensive, especially in Amazon. They will charge you to move the tiniest bit of data literally everywhere, with, like, two minor exceptions. And it's just the worst. Data storage costs, so Duckbill Group, we've kind of become these experts on data transfer and data storage costs, understanding just the complexity around them. And I feel like a lot of times folks only think about the storage being the biggest driver of their spend. Jesse: Absolutely.Pete: You know, you never delete your data. But you put it all on S3, right, Jesse? Like that's a cheap place to put your data.Jesse: Absolutely. Worthwhile. Put it in S3 standard storage, call it a day. I'm done, right? Pete: Yeah, just do my little, like, wipe my hands, and go on, and we're good. Most people p
