My suggestions for Alibaba Cloud service

I have tried another cloud service, recently I found our business is not so busy. Sometimes when a computation task is done, we want the cloud server shut down to reduce our cost.

However, we cannot find a ready-to-use tool for our requirements.

I would like a tool to help me designate a application and its processing signal to help us shutdown the server.

There is another suggestion for our work, we want a SGE for multiple-nodes batch work submission. Is there an option service in Alibaba Cloud?

Thank you very much!

If your business is not having a uniform workload across the day, you can consider restructuring your application in serverless. Alibaba Cloud has “Function Compute” which greatly reduces cost.

  1. Well you can also think of using containers with microservices architecture, This is also a great option which requires less effort compared to the implementing the whole application in serverless.

  2. Regarding your SGE similar workloads, You can have a look at E-HPC is similar to grid/parallel computing. But I think this is way more advanced. You should review one before whether it suits you or not. Although I have never tried it :slight_smile:
