- 3. Cutting Costs by 81%: Azure Spot VMs Drive Cost Efficiency for Jewelry AI Vision Geo: Industry: Technologies: Thailand Jewelry manufacturing Azure Spot Virtual Machines, Azure Storage, Azure Virtual Network, PostgreSQL
- 4. The Challenge A leading Thai jewelry manufacturer wanted to optimize production by analyzing worker activity across 200-250 workstations. 2-2.5 TB Daily Video Processing a staggering 2TB of video data daily from each workstation poses a significant computational challenge. AI-powered Insights The client needs to extract key details from video data (feature extraction and classification) to identify patterns and inefficiencies in worker performance. Cost optimization The initial Network Video Recorder (NVR) solution proved to be quite expensive to operate. With 200 workstations each recording 9 hours of video daily, this amounted to approximately 1800 hours of video data that needed to be processed overnight. The client required an optimized solution for handling such large volumes of data in a cost-effective manner. Secure Video Data Safeguarding sensitive worker activity and production data is crucial (compliance & security).
- 5. Our Solution We calculated that the NVR solution proposed by the developers is quite expensive. It would require a lot of CPU to make the project financially viable We proposed a significant cost optimization for this AI vision processing infrastructure by leveraging Azure Spot Virtual Machines (VMs). Spot VMs offer unutilized Azure compute capacity at deep discounts compared to traditional on-demand pricing.
- 6. Infrastructure Costs Estimation with Spot Instances Here’s a breakdown of the estimated cost savings Original Cost (On-demand pricing): $5,363 per month (as shown in the table VMSS Cost with Spot VMs: $430 per month (significant reduction from $4,700 Total Estimated Cost with Spot VMs: $1,100 per month Projected Savings: $4,263 per month
- 7. Additional Benefits: Deployment diagram Scalability Azure’s cloud infrastructure allows scaling Spot VMs up or down as needed, ensuring efficient resource utilization Performance Spot VMs deliver high performance ideal for demanding workloads like video processing.
