Overview

    BlueArch's Update Engine automates cloud resource cleanup and expiration tagging, helping organizations save costs and maintain tidy cloud infrastructures. Customizable policies and automated deletion of resources, such as those resulting from broken CI runs or failed IaC deployments, reduce the risk of over-provisioning and quota overages.

    Highlights

    • Easy to install.
    • Keep your data safe.
    • Reduce the risk of over-provisioning.

    • Amazon ECS
    Container image

    Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
