Reduce ARI WG Costs

[beyhan]

This is a tracking issue for all cost reduction activities in the ARI WG.

As discussed during the TOC meeting on 3rd of June 2025 we agreed on the following activities:

• WG leads should get Ternary access
• Make a report for your Working Group that you should track
• 1 month from now at next meeting, report an idea (implemented or not) for how you will reduce costs
• Contribute to the cost optimization guide Create Automtion Cost Optimization Guide #1185
• Implement cost optimiztion ideas Create Automtion Cost Optimization Guide #1185
• Explore the cost optimization ideas suggested in Ternary

[Gerg]

Looking at the "VM Rightsizing" instances, they are mostly:

1. Already deleted, so were probably part of an ephemeral environment
2. Part of the CAPI Elsa or Autoscaler's long-lived environments, which we are already planning to modify

[Gerg]

For the "Zombie Resource" instances, they are part of active bosh deployments, but have little-to-no utilization. They appear mostly in the Autoscaler environments, so @stephanme and I can follow up.

Ternary Report: Application Runtime Interfaces WG Costs (GCP), grouped by GCP region

[stephanme]

ARI Concourse (running on a GCP k8s cluster) could be moved to a cheaper region as well.

Long-term alternatives for ARI Concourse:

• run CI as github actions, needs bbl support
• move ARI pipelines to the planned central CFF Concourse once available
