Releasing Additional Terraform Building Blocks to the LeanerCloud ONCE Bundle

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Announcing a new release to the LeanerCloud ONCE bundle, which consists of the Terraform serverless microservice building blocks.

The bundle also contains the Optimizer CLI FinOps tool for GP2 to GP3 conversion for EC2 and EDS, and rightsizing with conversion to Graviton for RDS, Elasticache and OpenSearch, released previously.

These Terraform building blocks are a set of example Terraform modules for building serverless applications using Lambda and ECS Fargate. They will have a slightly different license from the CLI tools, which will allow you to use them to build proprietary products and use within your team, which is not permitted for the CLI tools.

Adopting the ONCE Model for All My CLI FinOps Tools and Terraform Building Blocks

Mon, 27 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I decided to release all the CLI tools and Terraform building blocks I use in my customers engagements under the 37signals ONCE Model, and under their ONCE source-available license.

What’s included?

For now this release only includes Optimizer, my flagship CLI tool for automated optimization of AWS resources which I use all the time in my service engagements to save my customers lots of money.

The main use case for the Optimizer tool is for mass-optimization of any or even all of the supported resources within your AWS account, and it is mainly built for hands-on FinOps consultants or people doing large optimization initiatives like I do for my customers.
