Are you running Dev/QA Workloads on Cloud?

We have been actively engaging with customers in their cloud journey. Some of the customers already have their Dev and QA environments running out of Cloud and more often, than not, are unhappy with the costs that they are already incurring for their Dev/ QA workloads.

In Cloud Parlance, the Dev/ QA are the best use cases to move to cloud, as it greatly reduces the Go-To-Market by reducing the need for hardware procurement, allows ideas to fail-fast, which in turn makes the ideation and development teams to be truly agile for business needs.

One the first things we do, when we see such an opportunity, is deploy a small piece of home grown server-less solution. This solution switches off the entire on-demand usage for the time that the Dev/QA environments are not in use. This typically results in immediate reduction on Cloud billing by close to 70-80%, creating a win for customer, which in turn creates a credibility for us.

The picture demonstrates how this is achieved. Happy implementing!
