As part of AWS Managed Services from Blumetech, we recently announced a new feature that will alert you to any pending Reserved Instance expirations. We monitor your account for any Reserved Instances that will expire in the next 30 days. We then send you six reminder e-mail alerts that are spread-out evenly over the remainder of the Reserved Instance contract.
This new feature is free to you and is included for all AWS Managed Services customers. You can read more at http://blogs.blumetech.com/blumetechs-tech-blog/2015/12/new-reserved-instance-expiration-alerts.html
The response from clients was overwhelming. This simple feature had been missing from their AWS account management. Many customers were thankful that they would no longer be "burned" by AWS when the reserved instance was expiring.
Customers liked the new feature so much that they asked us to include reserved instances for RDS and Elasticache as well. Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. ElastiCache is a web service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale an in-memory cache.
As part of AWS Managed Services from Blumetech, we are now adding a new feature that will alert you to any pending Reserved Instance expirations including RDS and Elasticache reserved instances. As with EC2 reserved instances, we will monitor your account for any Reserved Instances that will expire in the next 30 days. We then send you six reminder e-mail alerts to remind you of the upcoming expiration.
This new feature is free to you and is included for all AWS Managed Services customers.
Use it Now
This functionality was released earlier this month. Please note that this new functionality requires some additional AWS read-only permissions to your AWS account. Specifically we need to be able to list any of your RDS and ElastiCache reserverations. Contact us and we'll be happy to walk you through the process. It's very easy.
