Cloud Manager (AWS)

[idebuglife]

We built a Cloud Management add-on so you can manage servers in your AWS cloud and provide access to your customers so that they too can manage them through their client portal. We are gauging interest and seeing what one would be willing to pay. Each deployment right now would require a little bit of custom development, but if the price was high enough we'd be willing to package it up properly.

 

Client Features:

1. Able to snapshot and enter a custom description (auto-tags snapshots so you know which whmcs user took them)
   
2. Able to Stop / Start / Reboot / Terminate (terminate is just an email sent to admin with which user requested, etc)
   
3. Beautiful graphs for monitoring CPU / Disk Space / Disk I/O / Memory, etc. via CloudWatch (can also leverage NewRelic or another custom monitoring API)
   
4. Server Information - AWS details, and OS details via Chef (Public/Private IP, Networks, Datacenter, instance type, OS, CPU details, total memory, total disk, uptime, latest backup, etc)
   
5. Automatic backups + auto-tagging
   
6. Snapshots - calendar that shows details of each snapshot, and that volumes purpose
   
7. Firewall - details and rules
   
8. Billing - estimated end of month billing, current billing, etc
   
9. Activity Log - A facebook chat style activity log of what chnages were made to your customers server by your support team. Private and public comments. It's titled: "Your <IT company>'s activity" so your customer has a nice log of the recent help you've performed for them. It also shows logs of server reboots, SSH logins, etc (requires chef)
   

 

 

Admin:

1. Alerts - A wide assortment of alerts listed in a widget that shows color categorized priority, some examples: "server has been stopped for over x amount of days", resources are not tagged properly (according to your naming convention), when a resource is not tagged at all, when a firewall rule is open to the world, etc.
   
2. Billing - widget that displays a "past 24 hours of spend", last month vs this months total projected spend, customers can see their dynamic AWS bill with your markup, etc.
   
3. Permissions - who can see which servers, etc.
   
4. + a lot more!
   

 

Let me know if there is interest here and what you think people would be willing to pay, many features would have to be custom implemented so figure that in (due to which monitoring platforms you use, if you have chef or puppet automation, etc) and would be very expensive to custom develop all of these moving parts on your own (it was for us). The interface is very pretty, the calendar and graphs are as well. Let me know if you want screenshots.
