• AutoSpotting

  10 2,282 3.4 Go

  Saves up to 90% of AWS EC2 costs by automating the use of spot instances on existing AutoScaling groups. Installs in minutes using CloudFormation or Terraform. Convenient to deploy at scale using StackSets. Uses tagging to avoid launch configuration changes. Automated spot termination handling. Reliable fallback to on-demand instances.

  

Project mention: Farewell to the Era of Cheap EC2 Spot Instances | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-05

There's a service that handles obtaining the cheapest spot instances to your specs by a former aws engineer https://github.com/LeanerCloud/AutoSpotting

Effectively, it starts up cheap spot instances (based on specified criteria) across a variety of instance types to replace whatever regular instance in an autoscaling group comes online and then spins down the regular instance.

EG: That m4a you wanted may be expensive... but nobody is using m4ad so it's 85% off and it meets the specified CPU/RAM requirements... auto spotting will spin it up instead.

Having used it on and off over the years it is sometimes eyebrow raising to see 4xl boxes running cheaper than the xl box they replaced :)

  2 657 5.8 JavaScript

Project mention: Practical Tips for Refactoring Release CI using GitHub Actions | dev.to | 2023-08-17

Introduce a Pre Job for Allocate Runners: Allocate Runners is the first executed job that allocates Runners and creates global Version markers for the following Job. For instance, if we choose to use EC2, Allocate Runners Job will allocate EC2 instances of the corresponding platform through the EC2 API (implemented by the ec2-github-runner Action). In the future, we plan to incorporate more sophisticated selection algorithms to allocate Runners, with the aim of optimizing the costs of Runner allocation.

  AWS EBS-EC2 attach utility. UNMAINTAINED, SEE FORK -> (by sevagh)

Project mention: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12

I wrote pq [1] (protobuf parser cli) at a company where I was told to "just use the tool another engineer wrote" which was in C++, in a really uncompileable/abandoned/unusable state

I wrote goat [2] (EBS disk attacher) at the same company on a solo project where I needed to create a "Kafka-cluster-IaC" recipe in Terraform and wanted us to be able to replace EC2 broker instances dynamically but preserve their data on the EBS volume
