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.
