Cost & Billing
Utilizing cloud cost monitoring tools to track and minimize expenses associated with HPC workloads, ensuring cost-effective usage.
The Economy of Computation
Uncontrolled cloud scaling is a financial risk. **Malgukke** implements rigorous **FinOps frameworks** specifically for HPC. We integrate real-time billing telemetry with your job scheduler, allowing you to see the exact cost of a simulation *before* and *during* its execution. Our goal is to maximize **"Insights per Euro"** by balancing performance with budgetary constraints.
Real-Time Cost Monitoring
Implementing granular tagging and show-back/charge-back systems. We provide dashboards that break down cloud spend by project, department, or individual researcher, ensuring full accountability for every GPU-hour consumed.
- Automated budget alerts & kill-switches
- Predictive cost modeling for large runs
Strategic Cloud Arbitrage
Leveraging dynamic pricing models to reduce OPEX. We configure your environment to automatically select between Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Spot Instances based on the priority and fault-tolerance of the HPC task.

Billing Logic: Visibility -> Optimization -> Savings
| Cost Strategy | Malgukke Action | Financial ROI |
|---|---|---|
| Resource Tagging | 100% metadata coverage for all cloud assets. | Accurate internal charge-back |
| Preemptible Usage | Scheduling non-critical jobs on Spot instances. | Up to 70% reduction in compute cost |
| Egress Control | Optimizing data transfer paths to minimize fees. | Lower monthly networking invoices |
