In a [previous post](https://shockrah.xyz/posts/lewd-lad-infra/) I had laid out
|
|
the infrastructure that was built around the idea of having EC2 instances lay
|
|
dormant when not in use and toggle them on/off with the use of a Discord
|
|
command. For a while now this has worked great:
|
|
|
|
* Bot is containerized and can easily be deployed
|
|
* Infrastructure is managed by Terraform
|
|
* Server maintenance is tracked by changes to Ansible playbooks
|
|
* Server IP's are easily exposed with Dynamic DNS
|
|
* This is important so that users don't have to mess with configs as most games save the last IP/Hostname was for a given server (i.e. minecraft)
|
|

# Motivation for a new infrastructure
|
|
|
|
While this setup has worked really well so far the cost has been a lot higher
|
|
than it could be.
