Overview
The Network tab in Cloudamize provides a detailed, asset-by-asset breakdown of network traffic and costs. This view is essential for understanding network usage patterns, identifying potential bottlenecks, and projecting network-related costs in a cloud environment.
Note: Currently, Cloudamize treats all traffic as egress by default. Cloudamize is collecting data at the machine level and is only able to capture total data to/from a machine. Cloudamize does not know if the data being sent/received is going to leave the cloud region where the migrated environment is hosted, so Cloudamize takes a conservative approach and assumes all data is leaving the network, and therefore the cost we show is a worst-case scenario.
Detailed Network Asset Table
The main component of this tab is a table that lists network assets and their corresponding metrics. Unlike other tabs, this view focuses on network traffic rather than compute or storage resources.
|
Column Header |
Description |
|
Group Name |
Logical grouping or department assigned to the asset by the user. |
|
Asset |
A unique identifier for the cloud resource (e.g., virtual machine, server). |
|
Server Name |
Hostname of the server. |
|
IP Address |
Server's IP address. |
|
Recommended Instance |
Recommended cloud instance type (e.g., |
|
Hyperthreading |
An indicator of whether hyperthreading is enabled on the physical core, which impacts how logical CPUs are utilized. |
|
Tenancy |
The type of instance tenancy: Shared (runs on hardware shared with other AWS customers) or Dedicated (runs on single-tenant hardware). |
|
GB/month leaving server |
The total amount of data (in gigabytes) transmitted from the server per month (egress traffic). This is a primary driver of cloud network costs. |
|
GB/month from other Servers/Devices |
The total amount of data (in gigabytes) received by the server per month (ingress traffic). This is typically free or low-cost on most cloud providers. |
|
Predicted Peak (%) |
The predicted highest percentage of network utilization for the server. |
|
Annual Cost for Transmitted Data ($) |
The total projected annual cost specifically for data egress (transmitted data), calculated based on cloud provider pricing models. |
|
Annual Cost for Received Data ($) |
The total projected annual cost for data ingress (received data). This cost is usually minimal or zero. |
|
Region |
The specific cloud region (e.g., |
|
Total Cost ($) |
The combined annual projected cost for the entire asset, including compute, storage, and networking. |
|
ID (server name + uid) |
A unique identifier for the server, used for tracking and data integrity. |
The Network tab is vital for a comprehensive TCO analysis. It helps identify servers with high egress traffic, a major cost driver in the cloud, and provides the data necessary to plan network architecture and accurately budget for cloud networking.
