Cloud Fit

Five workloads need cloud servers: a website, a database, a video encoder, a payments API and an analytics cluster. Choose how many of each server type to run so every requirement is met, including surviving a server failure, at the lowest monthly cost.

How to play Cloud Fit

Use the plus and minus buttons to add servers. The totals show vCPU, memory and monthly cost, and the checks turn green when each requirement is met. Press Deploy when everything is green.
Your setup is compared with the cheapest setup that works. You score up to 20 XP per level depending on how close you get, plus a 20 XP bonus if every level is the cheapest possible.

Right-sizing in three steps

  • Read the shape of the workload. A database that holds data in memory needs lots of RAM per CPU. A video encoder needs lots of CPU and little memory. A website needs a little of both.
  • Match the server family. Cloud providers sell general-purpose, compute-optimised and memory-optimised servers. The right family gives the most of what you need per dollar.
  • Add only the redundancy you need. A service that must survive a failure needs enough capacity left over when any one server goes down. Several mid-size servers usually do that more cheaply than two large ones.

Why cloud bills grow

The most common cause of an oversized cloud bill is not traffic but servers that were never resized: chosen in a hurry, sized for a peak that never came, and left running. Regular right-sizing reviews often cut compute costs noticeably without any change in performance.
The server types and prices in this game are simplified examples, not any provider’s price list. The technology guides cover cloud infrastructure and cost management. Play Acronym Decoder next or browse Kurums Tools.
