Practical examples and use cases for CloudControl.

AWS Monitoring Example

This example demonstrates how to set up comprehensive monitoring for your AWS infrastructure using CloudControl.

Setting Up AWS Monitoring

Step 1: Connect Your AWS Account

First, connect your AWS account to CloudControl. For detailed instructions, see the AWS Setup guide.

// Import the CloudControl SDK
import { CloudControl } from '@cloudcontrol/sdk';

// Initialize the client
const client = new CloudControl({
  region: 'us-west-2'
});

// Connect to AWS
await client.connect({
  provider: 'aws',
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  }
});

Step 2: Configure Monitoring Rules

// Configure monitoring for EC2 instances
await client.monitoring.configure({
  resource: 'ec2',
  metrics: ['cpu', 'memory', 'disk', 'network'],
  alerts: [
    {
      metric: 'cpu',
      threshold: 80,
      duration: '5m',
      action: 'notify'
    },
    {
      metric: 'memory',
      threshold: 90,
      duration: '10m',
      action: 'notify'
    }
  ]
});

Step 3: Set Up Notification Channels

// Configure notification channels
await client.notifications.configure({
  channels: [
    {
      type: 'email',
      recipients: ['admin@example.com', 'ops@example.com']
    },
    {
      type: 'slack',
      webhook: 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
      channel: '#alerts'
    }
  ]
});

Multi-Cloud Cost Optimization

Learn how to optimize costs across multiple cloud providers using CloudControl's unified management interface.

Cost Optimization Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Current Spending

// Get cost analysis across all connected providers
const costAnalysis = await client.costs.analyze({
  period: 'last30days',
  groupBy: ['service', 'region', 'tag']
});

console.log(costAnalysis.summary);
console.log(costAnalysis.recommendations);

Step 2: Implement Recommendations

// Apply recommended cost optimizations
await client.costs.optimize({
  recommendations: [
    'resize-underutilized-instances',
    'remove-unused-volumes',
    'reserved-instance-coverage'
  ],
  approval: 'manual'  // Options: 'auto', 'manual'
});
