xdocker/netflix_ice repository overview

Ice provides a birds-eye view of our large and complex cloud landscape from a usage and cost perspective. Cloud resources are dynamically provisioned by dozens of service teams within the organization and any static snapshot of resource allocation has limited value. The ability to trend usage patterns on a global scale, yet decompose them down to a region, availability zone, or service team provides incredible flexibility. Ice allows us to quantify our AWS footprint and to make educated decisions regarding reservation purchases and reallocation of resources.

Ice is a Grails project. It consists of three parts: processor, reader and UI. Processor is responsible to process the Amazon detailed billing file into data readable by reader. Reader is responsible to read data generated by processor and render them to UI. UI is responsible to query reader and render interactive graphs and tables in the browser.
