GorillaStack and Polar 7 Hands On Optimisation Day With AWS

In August of 2018, GorillaStack collaborated with Polar 7 and Amazon for a “Hands On Day” focused on how to AWS Environment Optimization.

Optimize Your AWS Environment

Concentrating on the Well Architected Framework, the days were a good opportunity for organizations to get an overview on optimizing environments to be:

• Highly Secure
• Efficient
• Reliable
• Operationally Excellent
• Cost Optimized
  
  

Open Source AWS Resources

Those who attended will have been made aware of 3 CloudFormation templates written by Elliott Spira, GorillaStack CTO.

1. vpc.yml – for a VPC stack with three public and three private subnets, NAT Gateway, Internet Gateway and all routing.
2. sandbox.yml – for a sandbox environment, some Autoscaling groups, some standalone EC2 instances, RDS instances and a DynamoDB Table
3. batch.yml – let’s create an awesome AWS Batch environment. Two queues and two compute environments. This is a great starting point with AWS Batch.

Additionally, GorillaStack has made a number of resources available to attendees and of course anyone who wants to take advantage of our code!
