AWS Infrastructure Cost Estimation
Effective planning and budgeting are essential for developing applications in cloud computing, with a key part being accurate infrastructure cost estimation. This not only helps in keeping within budget but also enables informed decision-making and resource optimization for project viability.
This guide aims to offer an in-depth look at the factors affecting AWS infrastructure costs for KubeRocketCI and includes analytics and tools for cost estimation.
Platform Components and Approximate Costs​
This section contains tables outlining the key components of our AWS infrastructure, including a brief description of each component's role, its purpose within our infrastructure, and an estimate of its monthly cost.
The costs mentioned below are estimates. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, please refer to the AWS official documentation.
The table below outlines key AWS infrastructure components for KubeRocketCI, detailing each component's role, purpose, and estimated monthly cost:
| Component | Description | Purpose Within Infrastructure |
|---|---|---|
| Application Load Balancer (ALB) | Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets. | Ensures high availability and fault tolerance for our applications. |
| Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | Provides an isolated section of the AWS cloud where resources can be launched. | Segregates our infrastructure for enhanced security and management. |
| 3x Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateways | Enables instances in a private subnet to connect to the internet or other AWS services. | Provides internet access to EC2 instances without exposing them to the public internet. |
| Elastic Container Registry (ECR) | A fully managed container registry. | Stores, manages, and deploys container images. |
| Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) | A managed Kubernetes service. | Simplifies running Kubernetes applications on AWS. |
| Elastic Block Store (EBS) | Provides persistent block storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. | Offers highly available and durable storage for our applications. |
| Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) | Provides scalable computing capacity. | Hosts our applications, supporting varied compute workloads. |
The table below presents an itemized estimate of monthly costs for KubeRocketCI's AWS infrastructure components, including ALB, VPC, EC2, and more:
| Component | Approximate Monthly Cost |
|---|---|
| Application Load Balancer (ALB) | $30.00 |
| Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) - 3x Network Address Translation Gateways - 3x Public IPv4 Address | $113.88 $10.95 |
| Elastic Container Registry (ECR) | $5.00 |
| Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) - 1x EKS Clusters | $73.00 |
| Elastic Block Store (EBS) | $14.28 |
| Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) - 2x c5.2xlarge (Spot) - 2x c5.2xlarge (On-Demand) | $219.11 $576.00 |
