Hystax is pleased to announce the release of the Hystax OptScale Power Schedules feature, a new addition to our MLOps platform designed to provide enhanced control over IT resource utilization across multiple cloud service providers.
In our ongoing efforts to improve cloud efficiency and management, we identified a recurring need among our customers for a more structured approach to controlling their IT resources. Cloud cost optimization is a significant challenge for many organizations, as idle instances lead to unnecessary expenditure. Moreover, managing power states manually is not scalable, especially for enterprises with extensive cloud footprints across different providers.
Optimizing cloud resources with Power Schedules
The Power Schedules feature was developed in response to constantly increasing cloud transparency and optimization challenges. It addresses the following key objectives:
Cost optimization
Customers can significantly reduce their cloud spending by allowing the scheduled shutdown of instances when not in use.
Automated efficiency
Automating starting and stopping instances removes the risk of human error and the burden of manual management, thereby increasing operational efficiency.
Cross-platform consistency
With a single solution that works across multiple cloud platforms, customers have a consistent and streamlined experience, no matter where their resources are hosted.
Resource optimization
Ensuring resources are used only when needed aligns with financial efficiency goals.
Feature overview
Instance schedule assignment
Each instance can have its power schedule or share the schedule with others.
Daily operation
Schedules operate daily, performing both power off and power on actions for each instance on schedule.
Comprehensive platform support
Unified feature support is available across AWS, MS Azure, GCP, and Alibaba.
Configuring the Power Schedules feature
To configure Power Schedules:
1. Access the Power Schedules section within the OptScale console.
2. Select ‘Add’ to initiate a new schedule setup.
3. Input the relevant details, including the schedule name, activation times, deactivation times, and the applicable time zone.
