We develop a product that is, currently, deployed on prem in hospitals. But am I right in assuming that Fargate could actually be more viable, with only a 20 minutes to 5 hours (at most) of actual compute a day?īonus questions : is going from k8s/eks to ecs worth it? Is it dev intensive? Are there any benefits to ecs VS eks? I've read a lot about it but it's kinda hard to find real life situations of this. My understanding is that running EKS on EC2 wouldn't have any significant impact on our cost: we'd still pay the same price for ec2 compute + the 73 euros that EKS cost per month. Not even talking about the fact that managing the ec2 layer + the orchestrate has a cost too. That would amount to more than a third of the yearly price at which we sell the app. Using 3 c5a.2xlarge as worker nodes would do the work but we're still talking 500€+ per month (700 if on demand). We're almost certain that we can reach similar performance by relying on gpu instead, at the cost of requiring more CPU. We've tried with g instances as some of our algorithms are optimized for gpu but prices go crazy very fast. We've deployed a "cloud" POC by deploying the app + minikube on an EC2 instance. There are between 10 and 100 processing per day, depending on the customer. Processing requires compute for a period of 2-3 minutes each time a new patient data (500mo to 3-4gb) arrives in the db. I know this has already been discussed before but well, I'd rather make sure that I got it right.ĭisclaimer : I am not a dev, I am not very familiar with containers and orchestration but I am trying to find an opportunity to help my company build a SaaS offering knowing that our main product runs on Kubernetes.Ĭontext: the app we develop is for the processing of medical images.
