Using the Microsoft Azure and AWS online information about hourly costs for servers, calculate the monthly cost for a cluster consisting of the following servers. Provide a 3 page write up containing the total amounts along with screen shots of the Azure and AWS calculators.

Total number of VMs = 8

6 Linux VMs running any Linux flavor such as Ubuntu or RedHat or Centos or Amazon Linux

2 VMs running any Windows version (ex. Windows Server 2008 or 2012)

Allocate 50 GB storage for each VM

Use variable number of CPUs for the VMs. For example, 3 VMs with 4 CPUs and 3 with 8 CPUs

Use various memory sizes, such as, 8 GB, 16 GB, 64 GB and so on..

Provide options that will help reduce the monthly costs for this cluster (Hint: Look at reserved instances and spot instances)

Not looking for a full three page write up but a breakdown of the cost with this along with a few snap shots to show how to optimize.

Thanks

Ryan
