Comment on Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times?

  In pretty much any enterprise using the public cloud. Everything is auto scaling, so shutdowns when not needed. Dev environments shutdown over night… If you’re not shutting down and scaling in the public cloud, you’re doing it wrong.

      Is it shutting down servers… Yes. it just does it based on parameters and thresholds.

        Most of us don’t have clusters so shutting down the server means taking the server and all associated services completely offline.

        Do you take your product completely offline for 8 hours every single day?

        Right you don’t shut them down, you scale them down. My server also uses less power off peak demand.

    I see where your head is at here, but it sounds like you’re focusing on containerized items. A lot of people are going to look at you real weird if you think of scaling down a container as equivalent to shutting down a server. We can all see where your mind is going and there is logic there, but it’s more akin to closing chrome when you’re not using it than it is to shutting down the computer running chrome.

      Even physical hardware, if your paying power you can have clusters of physical hardware power up and down based on usage. There is no point in having 10 physical hosts running when the workload for n+1 means 3 servers overnight. With bnc, ipmi, ilo, idrac it will power them up as needed.
