How to select service plan

Case 1 You want to take daily back-up for 4 x EC2 instances and 1 x DB instance for production environment. Also, in order to save cost, you want to automate start/stop 2 x EC2 instances for development purpose.

Production environment

A4 (EC2 instances) x 1 (back-up/day) x 30 (days): = 120 times

B1 (DB instance) x 1 (back-up/day) x 30 (days): = 30 times

Development environment

C2 (EC2 instances) x 1 (start/day) x 22 (days): = 44 times

D2 (EC2 instances) x 1 (stop/day) x 22 (days): = 44 times

Total # of job executions: 238 times

Recommend to subscribe to
"Professional" plan + additional charge

Recommended use

Back-up

ASetup schedule + EC2 : Create AMI
BSetup schedule + RDS : Create DB snapshot

Cost reduction

CSetup schedule + EC2 : start instance
DSetup schedule + EC2 : stop instance

Case 2 Considering to cope with DR and to take backup from 15 x EC2 instances in production environment but we don't know how we can do this...

Production environment

A15 (EC2 instances) x 30 (days): = 450 times

B15 (AMI) x 30 (days): = 450 times

Total # of job executions: 900 times

Back-up

ASetup schedule + EC2 : Create AMI

DR

BSQS execution + EC2 : Copy AMI across regions

Case 3 Operating 50 x EC2 Instances and 5 x DB instances by using 3 x AWS accounts, but back-up and DR preparation are not organized. Also, operational rule in each AWS account is slightly different but I would like to operate using configured policy base.

A50 (EC2 instances) x 30 (days): 1,500 times

B5 (DB instances) x 30 (days): 150 times

C50 (AMI) x 30 (days): 1,500 times

D5 (DB Snapshots) x 30 (days): 150 times

E10 (policies) x 3 (AWS accounts): *
