Maestro Monitoring

Maestro provides powerful functionality that allows gathering, processing and delivering to users the information on infrastructure performance and cost. In such a way our application ensures good analytics for both developers and responsible managers.

Statistics are provided on two levels - Instance level and Tenant level.
For Project managers it is important to obtain detailed information on the Tenant level, such as:
  • cloud statistics for all projects to which the project manager is assigned
  • statistics by a single project and region
  • chargeback (project expenditures)
  • remaining balance for the specified project 
For Developers it is vital to get more specific information on virtual infrastructure capacities, available on the Instance level:
  • cloud statistics for all projects, as well as for a single project and region 
  • statistics by performance monitoring of a single VM (CPU utilization, network traffic, etc.).
By default monitoring metrics are displayed on the respective tabs of the Cloud Management Console.



You can also set metrics to appear as additional widgets on the main Cloud Dashboard, being always at hand. To set metrics monitoring on Dashboard use the Manage Metrics wizard.


Apart from displaying metric’s value, metrics widgets also include a number of controls that make the tool usage comprehensible and easy, such as:
  1. Metrics update information. Displays the period of metrics coverage and the frequency of an update.
  2. Metrics value and scope.  The value is represented as a number.
  3. Remove Metrics icon. Removes the metric from the Dashboard.
  4. Metrics name. Hover the mouse over the icon to see the description of the metric.

 
The information acquired from monitoring is of sufficient help while maintaining the infrastructure and predicting upcoming expenses, as well as optimizing future costs and instances performance based on analytical data.

Maestro Analytics: Essentials at the Fingertips

Image
Infrastructure analytics is one of the cornerstones for effective cloud management. Each cloud provider offers its own set of features and services for such purpose. We can say that AWS QuickSight, Google Data Studio, and Microsoft BI are among the top of the native analytics and BI offerings. They are deeply integrated into their native infrastructures, provide the detailed review of the infrastructure state, events and cost, and allow to take a deep dive into details, being powered by strong internal mechanisms and AI/ML engines. However, in many cases they provide a huge volume of data which needs a BI expert to cope with, as well as may have limited customization possibilities in terms of the covered data scope. Also, if you use more than one cloud, or have private datacenters, the fact that each of these tools is limited to its vendor, may be a reason for you to find a third-party analytics tool. Here is where you may consider solutions such as CloudHealth, AppOptics, or IBM C

Maestro Orchestrator: Product? SaaS? Framework!

Image
In 2012, EPAM Cloud Orchestrator was created as a cloud solution for the EPAM Systems community. It appeared when the issue of redesigning the growing infrastructure of more than 500 projects became critical. After a thorough analysis of the existing solutions, EPAM experts had to admit that none of them fit the company needs. However, that was not a problem but a challenge. If no perfect solution existed, EPAM created its own from scratch. In six years, EPAM Cloud Orchestrator evolved into a true hybrid cloud with over 8000 virtual machines in hundreds of projects. In addition to its basic function - hosting virtual resources - it supports a number of related components helping the users to be in full control of their virtual infrastructures, such as audit, monitoring, billing, reporting. Meanwhile, a time has come to go out of the box of an enterprise solution and meet the market. This is how the new generation of EPAM Cloud Orchestrator - Maestro was born. Maestro is
