Reliable, secure, and efficient cloud operations
summary
Claim: Spot by NetApp proves production workloads can run on mixed Spot Reserved and On‑Demand EC2 to cut compute cost 60–90% by continuously optimizing instance mix and sizing. Built components include Elastigroup for interruption‑aware capacity, Eco to buy and sell RIs on the AWS Marketplace and keep commitments dynamic, Ocean to map pod requirements to heterogeneous instances, and Ocean CD to automate canary/blue‑green rollout and verify SLOs. The platform ties into Instaclustr and CloudCheckr for managed open source data services and cost visibility and is in active customer use.
