Compute Resources

Overview

The Compute Resources page provides a comprehensive view of the cloud-based compute instances running in your infrastructure. It allows users to monitor instance performance, utilization, and cost insights while offering filtering and sorting capabilities for better resource management.

Key Metrics & Data Sections

1. Summary Metrics (Top Panel)

At the top, several key metrics provide an overview of your compute resource health and usage:

  • Total Instances: Displays the total number of active compute instances running in your cloud environment.

  • Stopped Instances: Shows instances that are not running and may need attention.

  • Average CPU Utilization: Reflects the overall CPU usage percentage across all running instances, helping to monitor workload efficiency.

  • Resource Health: Provides a health score (in percentage) based on the operational status of all compute instances. A higher percentage indicates better overall resource stability.

2. Compute Resources Table (Instance Breakdown)

Below the summary panel, a table displays detailed information for each compute instance. The table includes the following columns:

  • Name: The unique identifier of the compute instance.

  • Type: Specifies the instance type (e.g., db.t4g.micro, t2.micro), which defines the compute power and memory configuration.

  • Region: Indicates the geographical AWS region where the instance is hosted (e.g., us-east-1).

  • Status: Shows the operational status of the instance (e.g., running, available).

  • CPU Utilization: Displays the percentage of CPU resources being utilized by the instance.

  • Memory Utilization: Shows the percentage of memory currently in use (if available).

  • Cost/Hour: The hourly cost of running the instance, helping users estimate cloud expenditure.

  • Total Cost: The accumulated cost of the instance based on its usage.

3. Filters & Sorting Options

Users can refine the displayed compute instances using:

  • Search Bar: Allows searching by service, type, or instance name.

  • Status Filter: Enables filtering instances by their operational status (Running, Available, Stopped, etc.).

  • Region Filter: Lets users view instances specific to a selected cloud region.

  • Type Filter: Provides the ability to filter instances by compute type.

  • Sort by Usage: A quick-action button to sort instances based on CPU and memory utilization.

4. Use Cases & Benefits

  • Performance Monitoring: Quickly assess which instances are consuming the most CPU or memory.

  • Cost Optimization: Identify underutilized instances that could be stopped or downgraded to reduce expenses.

  • Troubleshooting & Resource Health: Monitor stopped instances and ensure optimal performance across services.

  • Scaling Decisions: Determine if additional compute resources are needed or if existing ones should be resized.
