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.

"An Easy Button for saving money on AWS using spot instances"

5/5

What do you like best about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

The best part about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator is that it just works. Install it, tag some instances, and save money without even trying. It addresses a specific problem in a simple, non-invasive way, with close to zero operational overhead.

Aside from the technical benefits, we also like the pay-as-you-go licensing model. This allows us to increase or decrease as needed without having to worry about capacity planning. And there's no vendor lock - if AWS or another vendor comes up with a better solution, we always have the option to uninstall without any risk of operational impact, contract violation, or cost risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

There was a bug in an earlier version that was causing a large number of queries to the AWS API, which contributed to our rate limit. In some cases, it was causing throttling to occur, which resulted in various delays within Xosphere Instance Orchestrator and other internal processes that were talking to those APIs. We submitted a support ticket, and Xosphere fixed the bug in the next version, which was released a few days later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We all have instances that need to run, and those cost money. We also know that using spot instances can save us up to 90% on instance costs. And although AWS has some options available, none of them seem to fit quite right. We have enough things to do in our day-to-day without doing a deep-dive on AWS every time they release a new version of a product. Should we re-create the autoscale group? What are the nuances between launch configurations and launch templates? What's new in EC2 Fleet, how does it differ from spot fleet, and how does each one work with autoscaling? We like keeping things simple - we already have autoscaling groups, and all we want is just 2 or 3 options to say: "Hey, run some of these instances as spot instances and save me some money." This simplicity is where Xosphere Instance Orchestrator shines. Just set a few tags on the autoscaling group, and it handles the rest. Xosphere Instance Orchestrator is the missing tool that we've all wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Set it and Forget it!"

5/5

What do you like best about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

XOSphere is incredibly helpful in quickly and consistently utilizing the spot market. Over the course of our ~1 year with XOSphere, we've had 0 problems to speak of. It's consistently saved us 80% from on-demand prices and done so without any oversight.

The additional features of XOGroups and more make it such that there's a broadening platform of offerings that will continue to serve developers well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xosphere Instance Orchestrator?

Terraform resourec version updates are sometimes backwards incompatible. Very few other providers even have TF providers, so this is very much a nit pick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
