Xosphere Instance Orchestrator Overview

What is Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

Xosphere's super power is reducing AWS EC2 expense by up to 80%. Xosphere is the world's only intelligent cloud orchestration company empowering enterprises to seamlessly move applications to the right place at the right time to reduce cloud expense and increase reliability. Xosphere's intelligent cloud software transforms unreliable Spot instances into robust resources that have the same reliability as On-Demand but at a fraction of the cost, yielding unparalleled savings. For enterprises that want to reduce cloud costs, Xosphere's optimization engine maximizes savings with the fastest speed of implementation in the industry. Xosphere Instance Orchestrator is a cloud-native, self-hosted subscription software application. It installs into your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account using either a CloudFormation stack or a Terraform module and runs using Lambda functions. Instance Orchestrator uses an opt-in design; it only executes on Auto-Scaling groups or individual instances that have explicitly been enabled via an AWS tag. Tags can be applied using any method or tool that is used within the organization to manage tags (for example, AWS Console, AWS CLI, AWS APIs, infrastructure-as-code platforms such as CloudFormation or Terraform, cloud management platforms, etc.). Once this enabling tag has been applied, Instance Orchestrator will automatically perform its management duties on an ongoing basis.

What do you like best about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

Xospohere Instance Orchestrator was extremely easy to set up and use. We run a very large, CI/CD, EC2 environment in multiple regions and the "one lambda to rule them all" made this integration very easy. Some simple updates to tagging and the Orchestrator did the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There has been nothing so far to dislike. We have been running the Orchestrator for 4 month and so far it has worked very smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xosphere Instance Orchestrator solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run an extensive EC2 environment with very large (8xlarge/12xlarge) instances, and cost has always been a hot topic. Xospere has shown tangible savings already in just 4 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

It was easy to get going with a few clicks and configuring parameters for EC2 instance replacement. Our application was set up to handle machine restarts smoothly, so handling spot instance replacements was straightforward for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

It is a little hard to tell exactly the amount we're saving but resolving that issue is on the roadmap, and I am sure it is a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xosphere Instance Orchestrator solving and how is that benefiting you?

Xosphere is helping us aggressively manage AWS costs without making big commitments to AWS to get an equivalent level of savings. We have done so without investing much R&D time on our side other than the already good practice of ensuring we handle machine replacement well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

The ease with which we are able to implement the usage of spot instances into our infrastructure without knowing much about how it operates and reduce our costs. Moreover, XOSphere is always open to new ideas and quick to implement them as well upon request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

Nothing so far! So far we have only found one issue where the instance was getting attached in the ALB Target Group on an illegal port number but XOSphere was gracious enough to accept and fix it in record time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xosphere Instance Orchestrator solving and how is that benefiting you?

Earlier, AWS spot instances were only being utilized in development as we were always afraid of using them in production due to their very nature. With XOSphere, we are able to deploy spot instances into production clusters and reduce costs at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Previous to Xosphere, we were running an entirely on-demand instance fleet. We were looking to save money in infrastructure costs and Xosphere was a plug-and-play way for us to convert much of our fleet to spot and immediately save thousands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
