RDST (Readyset Diagnostic & SQL Toolkit) is a free desktop app that connects to your RDS or Aurora instances and tells you which queries are driving the load you are paying for. The reason I built it is that Performance Insights is decent at telling you there is load, but going from "there is load" to "here is the query, here is why it is slow, and here is whether fixing it lets me drop an instance class" is still a repetitive manual process: open Performance Insights and find the top SQL by load copy the digest out and go run EXPLAIN ANALYZE against the instance yourself go find the table definitions and check whether the statistics are current work out whether the index you have in mind already exists check max_connections, to see if this is what’s actually biting during the spike go back to the pricing page and work out whether any of this justifies the instance class you are on do it again for the next instance That last step is where the money is. Fix one query dominating CPU and you can often downsize, which on a large instance is hundreds/thousands per month. Full disclosure - I work for Readyset (which is a caching layer for postgres / mysql), and this tool spawned from a recurring question our caching customers kept asking - which queries should we actually cache? And these same queries are the ones that, even without a caching solution, could heavily benefit from performance diagnostics. It runs locally using credentials you already have, SSO or a named profile. Nothing gets installed on the instance and there is no cross-account role to create. It discovers your Aurora clusters and RDS instances, audits all of them, saves query snapshots so you can track regressions over time, and even allows you to ask plain english questions about any / all of your nodes and their queries. The health check feature gives you a sizing verdict with your current monthly cost and a suggested instance class, so making the decision to downsize/upsize should become very clear. The reason this is worth doing: the instance in that report is an Aurora db.r6g.4xlarge running about $1,180 a month on demand. Three unindexed access paths account for roughly 66% of its total database time, and those are what the CPU peaks are made of. With those three indexes in place the audit puts the same workload on a db.r6g.xlarge at about $295. That is $885 a month, a little over $10,600 a year, for what amounts to an afternoon of work. The tool is completely free to use, and we provide free trial tokens for all of the AI powered features. The app is in beta and we plan to release it under an MIT license. It runs locally, stores locally and everything it does is read-only. Full privacy related details: https://readyset.io/docs/readyset-ai/rdst/desktop/privacy Would love feedback from people running Postgres or MySQL on RDS, particularly: Does the sizing verdict line up with what you'd have concluded from Performance Insights? Does it surface the queries you'd investigate first? Would you be comfortable pointing it at a production instance? If not, what would stop you? What's missing?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone with Google Workspace or Google Cloud Billing experience can help me understand this situation. For the past few weeks, I've been receiving collection emails from ABC-Amega (American Bureau of Collections) claiming that I owe Google Workspace approximately INR 1.47 million. The emails contain: Customer: ApexZen - Dhruv Kanziya Collection File: 3531039 Domain: apexzen.store The email says my Google Workspace account has been placed into collections. The problem is: • I have never intentionally purchased or owned apexzen.store. • WHOIS shows the domain was registered on 11 January 2026 through Namecheap. • The domain currently appears offline. • Google Admin recovery recognizes [ [email protected] ](mailto: [email protected] ) as a Workspace account, but I do not know the password. • The recovery Gmail shown by Google is NOT mine. • I cannot recover the account. • I cannot access the Admin Console. • Google Cloud Billing shows I am not an administrator of any billing account. • Google Payments shows no Workspace billing profile. • I have never seen any invoices or billing history related to this account. Another thing I noticed: The collection email tells me to: "Select the account ID mentioned above" However, the email does not include any Google Workspace Customer ID, Billing Account ID, Payments Profile ID, Invoice Number, or Admin Email. The only identifiers in the email are: Customer: ApexZen - Dhruv Kanziya File: 3531039 I have already disputed the debt with ABC-Amega and requested debt validation. My questions are: Has anyone seen Google Workspace collection emails that do NOT include Billing IDs or Customer IDs? Can someone accidentally add unrelated Gmail addresses as billing or notification contacts? Could this be a Google Workspace identity mix-up? What evidence should I request from Google or ABC-Amega to prove whether this account actually belongs to me? I'm attaching screenshots of: - the collection email - WHOIS information - Google Admin recovery - Google Cloud Billing - Google Payments Any advice from Workspace admins or Google Cloud experts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. https://preview.redd.it/jz3gxpvb4shh1.png?width=1917&format=png&auto=webp&s=c34f77b1516b8ede1e5c385b8a1a7ffaf205c8d4 https://preview.redd.it/1f3xe0da4shh1.png?width=792&format=png&auto=webp&s=71b85ee0abeb80f9d5cfa44ce27ea6b77eda2d6a https://preview.redd.it/bki0ymr84shh1.png?width=955&format=png&auto=webp&s=74d33b34940e91bf935593585c31da8e36c8b551 https://preview.redd.it/n5xb1vb54shh1.png?width=1813&format=png&auto=webp&s=5c1d0f0d62d98e06a5f4f638df4c0e7a83011e24 https://preview.redd.it/2121wqhy3shh1.png?width=1917&format=png&auto=webp&s=318d3a6651e5e8912e31e01279141aadc583ddb5 submitted by /u/Inside-Phone-623 to r/googlecloud [link] [comments]

Title vs the work I actually do

by Responsible_Put_2876

Hi and Thank you for reading this. I came into finance sideways. I started in technical support at a SaaS company and gradually became the person handling billing technical escalations: Stripe API integration issues (subscriptions, stripe Connect). That turned into owning bigger pieces, like enabling (using stripe features) revenue teams with some initiatives that didn’t have support on the backend yet. That work got me promoted into what we call a “FinOps” role, and the team wants me as the person driving new initiatives in finance operations. Right now the work is mostly reactive: resolving billing issues, scripting repetitive tasks, and using AI agents where it actually makes sense. There are some projects around ai but nothing related to cloud architecture. Reading this community, I’ve realized my role doesn’t map to what most professionals mean by FinOps. I’m not trying to claim the FinOps title, since I have no DevOps background. But I’d like to hear opinions on how to develop in my current role and what directions are logical. I’d really appreciate any thoughts on this. Thank you. submitted by /u/Responsible_Put_2876 to r/FinOps [link] [comments]

I’m coming back to SF Sept. 4 for a somewhat ridiculous experiment. I’m helping a small technology company get its services/platform/hardware packaged for AWS Marketplace, and instead of sitting at home in San Diego trying to figure everything out through documentation, I want to see how much progress I can make in one week by actually meeting people in the Bay Area. My goals: • understand the fastest realistic Marketplace path • meet people who have actually launched AWS Marketplace offers • find AWS/channel/enterprise sales people willing to share advice • attend relevant cloud, infrastructure and startup events • develop a repeatable launch checklist I can publish afterward • hopefully come out of the week with actual customer opportunities I’ll post an update afterward with what worked, what didn’t, costs, events, contacts/resources people recommended, and what I learned about getting a small company into the AWS ecosystem. If you know someone I should meet, an event I should attend, a founder gathering, AWS person, cloud consultant, MSP, reseller, or enterprise infrastructure person, I’d love an introduction. I’m also doing this on a pretty lean budget, so if anyone wants to contribute a coffee, BART fare, lunch, event ticket, workspace, spare room, or otherwise sponsor part of the experiment, I won’t turn it down. But introductions and information are genuinely more valuable to me than money. I’ll keep a running tally of what Reddit contributed and what came out of it. A few people have asked me previously how they can contribute directly, so I can provide my Venmo by DM. Mike 707-267-1768 submitted by /u/ahahabbak to r/aws [link] [comments]

I got a call from one of our rural customers at this MSP and their coaxial internet was down again. They lose like $1000+ an hour if they're down so they told me they called Verizon, their business cell provider, and asked if they had something. I assume a salesman mentioned it in the past. After one phone call where I said "our networking guy is out today but I'm pretty sure you can plug just about anything into the WAN port on the Fortigate and it'll work" they called back an hour later saying they got an a XC46BE. I've never even heard of that family of devices so I thought this is gonna be a shit day. Luckily for my non-networking specialist self, was easier to set up than a 54g linksys in 2002. Basically it just jumps on and spits out wifi and ethernet. I ran a test on my non-verizon smartphone and got 16mbps to the tower. Then I hooked my laptop up to the device and got 220x40 so fuck net neutrality I guess. It even has a battery and their switches had UPSes so that's a bit interesting. I slapped it into the Fortigate and tada, everyone's back online...with about 10mbps and 500ms ping time. I assumed all their Outlooks were syncing at once or something but they told her the device can do about 20 people. They have about 10 highly active computers. Pretty unimpressive for $350! But they intended to return it when the outage was fixed and their rep said that was fine. The very millisecond I walked out the door, the ISP truck showed up and started messing with the box on the front lawn. Awesome use of my time. But I keep hearing about these magical devices that can switch over to 5G and we do have WAN1 and WAN2 on the Fortigate so they're considering keeping it and programming in a switchover of some sort. I assume they do that. Anyone have one that doesn't suck? Because this one impressed me until it was actually in use. I saw one at a trade show years ago that was a UPS + 5G modem. That sounded kinda neat but so did this Verizon device until it performed poorly. submitted by /u/CeC-P to r/sysadmin [link] [comments]

I've had multiple computers in our network failing every single Intune install immediately. Like, it fails to even download. The devices are obviously connected to the network, as they are getting an Intune sync (when sent from the Intune portal or requested via Company Portal) but then continuous notifications about apps failing. My gut is telling me that there is some kind of malware that is somehow allowing the Intune sync to go through, but blocking the download traffic. I know it's not a network issue, because it's only certain computers doing this, and even at the same physical site some are fine while others are broken. And the computers can get out to the web, it seems to be just certain traffic, like this, that is not going through. The IntuneManagementExtension.log has this: [Win32App][Win32AppDownloadExecutor] Execution completed with action status: Failed, enforcement state: InProgressPendingManagedInstaller, error code: , and download running in background: False. ...

And that line is just continuously there, appearing about every 2-3 seconds as it continues to try to pull more apps. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this? submitted by /u/havens1515 to r/sysadmin [link] [comments]

Today we had 3 AVD multisession hosts that went through the Live Migration process at different times of the day (just learned about this today so go easy on me) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/maintenance-and-updates#live-migration I don't see any errors of the live migration failing, as its showing succeed, but my users are getting kicked off then unable to connect. The error I see when a user tries to connect is: ConnectionFailedUserHasValidSessionButRdshIsUnhealthy So I checked the host and its in a stuck/updating state. PS C:\Users\bob> (Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $rg -Name $hostname -Status).VMAgent.Statuses Code : ProvisioningState/Unavailable Level : Warning DisplayStatus : Not Ready Message : VM Agent is unresponsive.

Was trying to get in to try and fix the agent by restarting it or reinstalling in hopes to fix it. I put the host in Drain Mode, but users were still getting directed to that host if they had a session already there (according to google that's intended). So my only fix was to restart the hosts. Looking for ideas on how to prevent this and or a simple fix when it happens. submitted by /u/SendMe_YourPasswords to r/AZURE [link] [comments]

Single Proxmox host today, budget approved to grow to two nodes. A proper Dell/HPE storage array is far out of reach at this budget — but a business-class NAS is not, and that's exactly my question: **would a business NAS actually be enough for us, or am I fooling myself?** Small manufacturing company, ~50 workstations, I'm the only IT person. ## Current host Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 - 1× Xeon Silver 4210R (10c/20t). Second socket empty. - 32 GB RAM in a single DIMM. 23 slots free. - VM datastore: RAID1 of 2× 2.4TB 10K SAS HDD → 2.2 TB, **94% full**. - Boot/local: RAID1 of 2× 960GB SATA SSD → 893 GiB, ~30% used. - ThinkSystem RAID 730-8i (hardware RAID, no proper JBOD passthrough). - Intel X722 LOM, 4 ports. No 10GbE add-in card, but free PCIe slot. - Core switch is 48-port gigabit with 10G SFP+ uplinks available. - Proxmox VE 8.4.14. ## Workload | Role | vCPU | RAM | |---|---|---| | AD DS + DNS | 4 | 12 GB | | Zabbix + Grafana (LXC) | 4 | 4 GB | | Internal web app | 4 | 2 GB | | Quoting web app | 2 | 4 GB | | UniFi controller | 2 | 2 GB | | GLPI (Docker) | 2 | 2 GB | | API gateway | 1 | 2 GB | **Allocated: 19 of 20 vCPU, 28 of 32 GB RAM.** **Actually used: under 5% CPU, ~17 GB RAM.** A second DC and the SIEM live outside this host. **Veeam runs on its own separate machine and backups also land offsite**, so backup does not depend on this host or on whatever storage we buy. **Coming soon:** internal ERP — web app plus a **MySQL** database. --- ## Option 1 — Two full nodes, local storage, ZFS replication - **New node:** better CPU than current, max 16 cores, 64 GB RAM, 2× 960GB SSD + 3× 3.2TB SAS for capacity. - **Current node:** RAM upgrade, HBA to replace hardware RAID. - ZFS both sides, 10GbE direct link, external QDevice, async replication (~15 min). Two independent copies of the data. Local disk latency. But async replication means up to 15 minutes lost on failover, and I have to swap the RAID controller for an HBA on the existing box. ## Option 2 — Business NAS as shared storage + thin node - **New node:** 2× SSD purely for Proxmox itself, no VM storage. Budget goes into RAM instead of disks. - **Current node:** RAM 32 → 64 GB. Keep the existing controller — **no HBA swap, no ZFS to design.** - **Business-class NAS** holds all VM disks, 10GbE to both nodes. Both nodes mount shared storage → live migration and HA with no RPO gap. Clears the 94% problem on day one. Simpler to build. But one NAS, one controller, and if it dies the whole virtual environment is down until a replacement arrives. ## Budget Up to **R$100,000 ≈ US$19,400** total, covering the new node and either the disks or the NAS. This is Brazil — import duties and local margins mean enterprise hardware here lands well above US list, so that number buys maybe half of what it would in the US. --- ## Questions **The main one: is a business-class NAS genuinely adequate as primary storage here?** Our VMs currently run off two 10K spinning disks in RAID1, so almost anything is an improvement on paper. But "business NAS" covers everything from a 4-bay desktop box to a rackmount unit with redundant PSUs and all-flash. What tier do I need to insist on, and what specs are non-negotiable? **MySQL over the network.** Is a small ERP database the workload where NAS-backed storage falls apart, or is that overblown at this scale? Would you keep the DB on the node's local SSD even in Option 2? **iSCSI + LVM-thin or NFS + qcow2?** iSCSI performs better but I lose snapshots; NFS keeps snapshots but adds latency. Which are you running in production and what do you regret? **Option 2 lets me skip the HBA swap and skip designing ZFS entirely.** Is that a real advantage, or am I trading a solved problem for a worse one? **In Option 1, is 3× SAS HDD sane for a VM datastore in 2026,** or should the whole VM pool be SSD and the spinning disks reserved for documents and archives? **Given the budget and this workload, which would you build?** We already have Veeam on a separate machine with offsite copies, so the question is less about losing data and more about how long we'd be down. Happy to answer questions about the workload. submitted by /u/gianheller to r/sysadmin [link] [comments]

Did a cleanup pass this month after the bill crept up again and it was grim. Over 1k a month going to stuff nothing was using. The usual suspects are unattached EBS volumes from instances we killed months ago, a pile of snapshots from nonexistent volumes, NAT gateways 3 of them just idle in a dev account at 32 bucks a month each and a couple of load balancers with no targets. There was also an elastic IP quietly billing by the hr since AWS started charging for those. Worse than last year, a chunk of it traced back to our own agents. Devs run coding agents that spin up test infra to try something and the agent never tears it down, teardown isn't in the happy path. So every abandoned experiment leaves a little orphaned tail nobody's watching because it's 20 bucks here and forty there til a year of it adds up. Tagging would catch some of this which of course it isn't and the untagged stuff is the orphaned stuff because it got made in a hurry. Cost Explorer shows me the number, never the owner. This is the boring waste that never trips an alarm, it just quietly rents space in your bill forever. submitted by /u/Chris-Hart_232 to r/aws [link] [comments]

A rollback is straightforward when one release causes one clear regression and the previous version is known-good. It is less obvious when metrics disagree, data migrations are irreversible, an external dependency is failing, queues contain mixed-version work, or the rollback itself would create a second outage. What conditions should move remediation from automatic to human-approved? A useful policy might combine error-budget burn, confidence that the release caused the change, reversibility, data compatibility, blast radius, time since deployment, and whether the previous version still satisfies current contracts. How do you encode an explicit unknown state so automation can contain harm without pretending it knows which version is safe? submitted by /u/RocketSeven to r/devops [link] [comments]

Everyone has been waiting for the Azure price increase tied to the memory shortage. My two cents: it's already here. Normally a generational compute update — v1 through to v5 — costs the same per hour and gives you a performance bump - free of charge.. It also helps Microsoft exit their old End Of Life hardware. Everybody wins. You move v2 to v3 on a 16 vCPU box and the rate is more or less identical, right the way up to v5. That's over. From v6 onwards there's a fundamental shift. The generational upgrade is no longer free. v1 to v5: same price. v6: roughly +10%. v7: roughly +35%. Read that again, because it changes how you have to think about your estate. EOL now exists in the cloud. Not as a migration exercise — as a cost event. Previously, hardware retirement was Microsoft's problem. They wanted you off the old fleet, so they made the move painless and you got free performance out of it. Now the retirement notice comes with a bill attached, and you have no route to decline it. Sub-v5 capacity is already constrained. Once the capacity pressure tightens further, "stay where you are" stops being an option. So combine three things: → Generational moves are now priced increases, not neutral swaps → Capacity constraints on older SKUs push you up the generations whether you budgeted for it or not → Nobody's three-year plan has a compounding uplift modelled into it That's a ticking time bomb. Your Azure VMs are now going to get generationally more expensive by default. Not because anyone announced a price rise — because the escalator only goes one way and you're standing on it. submitted by /u/AcceptablePicture329 to r/AZURE [link] [comments]

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing a slowdown with Firestore query in the last few weeks, which has really started to tick up in the last few days for us. We’re seeing recurring waves of timeouts across multiple unrelated Google Cloud projects and I’m trying to figure out whether anyone else is seeing something similar. Setup: - Firebase Functions Gen 2 / Cloud Run - Node.js Admin SDK - Firestore Native mode - Region: us-central1 - Multiple separate projects affected - Request timeout varies by service, usually 30s or 60s (depending on the function timeout we've set) During a wave, unrelated HTTP routes start returning 504s that approach the function's configured timeout (e.g. 29.997s for a 30s timeout). The failed requests are not tied to one endpoint or one query shape. Logs show Firestore operations continuing after the Cloud Run request has already timed out. Examples from one incident: - `devices.read` direct document read: 116,019ms - `leads.read` direct document read: 57,487ms - `postalCodes.read` direct document read: 33,093ms - `cache.list limit=1`: 61,590ms - `preferences.read` direct document read: 36,324ms - `leads.list limit=500`: 79,723ms The `postalCodes.read` example is especially confusing because that document is tiny. But honestly all of these documents are a few kb at the most. So this doesn’t look like just a large document, missing index, or bad query issue. Other observations: - Failures often cluster on one Cloud Run instance/revision instance ID. - Other instances may continue serving traffic normally. - The request hits the Cloud Run timeout, but the Firestore operation later logs completion. - We’ve seen this on three separate projects. - We’ve reduced external API calls and removed some broad Firestore scans, but the issue still recurs. - We briefly tried `preferRest: true`; it may have helped temporarily but did not clearly eliminate the issue. Has anyone else seen Firestore Admin SDK calls intermittently hang like this from Cloud Run / Firebase Functions Gen 2? Is there a known issue with Firestore gRPC/transport connections getting unhealthy per instance? Are there recommended client-side mitigations besides lowering concurrency, recycling instances, or reducing reads (i.e. increasing cache usage)? Is there a good way to prove this is client transport/backend behavior versus application query pressure? I'm trying to understand whether this is a known pattern and what people have done to debug or mitigate it. submitted by /u/ehed to r/googlecloud [link] [comments]

The case was created successfully, but its status is currently showing as “Unassigned.” Case number: 178740096600724 It has been 24 hr since I created the case. Has anyone experienced this before? How long did it take for your AWS Billing Support case to get assigned to an agent? I’m mainly looking to understand whether I should just wait or take any further action.

I have 2 Standalone HPE Server where just Windows Server 2022 is running and unfortunately a bios update corrupted bios and made HPE Server unable to boot. This has unfortunately been caused by a power outage during planned maintenance bios update. So I ordered a CH341a programmer and flashed the stock bios from hpe to this mainboard. Both systems booted fine again however users couldn't connect to file shares of one of them anymore due to duplicated uuids and only one of the system can be in the ad domain at the same time. Also mac addresses are the same on both systems so I had to set a static one for one of them in device managers nic driver. Is there any way to fixx the broken bios update? submitted by /u/luky90 to r/sysadmin [link] [comments]

so this happened our old phone system was a mess. on-prem PBX from like 2015. constantly dropping calls, hard to scale, and every time something broke I had to drive to the office to fix it. I hate driving to the office. I pitched moving everything to Azure. compute, storage, the whole thing. took me like 3 weeks to build the business case. showed him cost projections, uptime improvements, scalability. he finally said yes. we went with phone system for the actual calling layer and built the rest on Azure. recordings go to blob storage, analytics run on functions, the whole stack. honestly it's been solid. we had one hiccup with network security groups blocking SIP traffic but that was my fault for not configuring it properly. now whenever someone asks about the phone system I'm like it's on Azure and they nod like I'm some kind of genius. I'm not. I just read a lot of documentation. the best part is I haven't had to drive to the office in 4 months. that alone is worth the migration. anyone else running voice workloads on Azure. any tips for cost optimization because I'm terrified of the next bill submitted by /u/Ramsesthrowaway to r/AZURE [link] [comments]

Disclosure: I maintain this (free, open source, self-hosted). If your Kubernetes pods request a lot more CPU/memory than they use, you are paying for idle capacity. Attune watches real usage and right-sizes those requests, often without restarting pods (in-place resize on modern Kubernetes). Repo: https://github.com/attune-io/attune Docs: https://attune-io.github.io/attune/ Requirement: usage metrics in the cluster (Prometheus is the usual case; Datadog/CloudWatch also work). Without metrics there is nothing to right-size from. If underuse is real for you, what is the barrier to starting and saving money? Do not trust automation on prod Already use something else No metrics / install friction Hard to prove savings in $ Change management / security What would block you most? submitted by /u/Mobidic69 to r/FinOps [link] [comments]

Maybe we need to change the way we handle access process for our developers or users. There was a production outage but luckily it wasn't revenue impacting. I had to help a developer by accessing their application on an ec2 instance. Our team have access to any servers in production. Our developers only have access to our dev and stage environments. I am not familiar with their application. So basically, I was just executing commands that he was giving me. It was the most degrading role I have experienced, HAHAHA! I'm thinking that when there are production outages, the application owners should be given temporary access so they can debug their applications. It will be quicker. It took us almost 5 hours! I was just copying and pasting commands and outputs. On the unix history command recalls everything. I don't recall any, HAHAHA! So what is your process? submitted by /u/Oxffff0000 to r/devops [link] [comments]

Most teams I talked to don't have a CI/CD pipeline checking cost or governance policy before terraform apply, they just run it locally. That's what guard is for: cloudcosttree guard -- terraform apply. To be clear, this isn't a simulation, it's your real terraform apply. guard never runs one on its own, it only wraps the exact command you were already going to run, checks the plan against your policies, then applies that same saved plan, so there's no gap between what got checked and what got deployed. Default behavior is warn-only, it prints violations but still applies. --block opts into actually stopping the apply on a real violation. A false positive blocking a real deploy is worse than one showing up in a report, so blocking is never the default. submitted by /u/Independent-Ease-609 to r/FinOps [link] [comments]

I'm still seeing the old GPT pricing in Foundry Monitoring and in my Azure cost management for Standard Global as of today, does anyone know when they will fix this? It's been 12 days now... Support isn't helpful and doesn't have any clue it seems. submitted by /u/googleaddreddit to r/AZURE [link] [comments]
