Case Study: Privo IT cuts RDS costs by 67% with Skeddly

Privo IT - Customer Case Study

Privo IT, a managed IT services company specializing in Amazon Web Services, needed a low-maintenance way to control the cost of a Microsoft SQL Server RDS instance used for demonstration purposes. Because the database only needed to run during business hours, they wanted a reliable, cost-effective way to avoid paying for an idle instance overnight and on weekends.

Using Skeddly’s “Restore RDS Instance” action, Privo IT scheduled the RDS database to be restored each weekday morning and terminated with a final snapshot each evening. Skeddly helped cut weekly RDS costs from $147.84 to $48.40, saving $99.44 per week, or 67%, at a weekly Skeddly cost of just $0.75.
