AWS learning notes - 1

Talking to one of my friends in devOps space, I came to know about the noisy neighbour problem.

Turns out AWS doesn't do a good job in supporting its customers on this.

Amazon does not expose their instance count per physical node, nor do they provide customers with guidance on at which points in the product portfolio they can acquire single tenant (dedicated) instances that avoid the noisy neighbor problem entirely. This is an area in which small organizations can gain significant advantages by utilizing other cloud hosting providers, many of which do offer single tenant cloud servers, or are at the least transparent about the contention ratios customers can expect when hosting on their infrastructure.

how do companies evaluate countries which are better for outsourcing

Global Services Location Index (GSLI)

This Index tracks the contours of the offshoring landscape in 50 countries across four major categories: financial attractiveness, people skills and availability, business environment, and the new digital resonance category explained in figure 1. It assesses countries' capacity to deliver BPO and ITO services based on 44 different metrics (see Appendix: About the study). 

One of the newly added items in it in addition to standard parameters associated with traditional IT outsourcing like financial attractiveness, people skills and availability, legal and cybersecurity environment is one of the key factors to account in decision making
