🚀 I'm beyond thrilled to share a milestone that marks a significant leap in my journey as a #FinOps #CostOptimization specialist. @CloudPouch, my AWS cost optimization solution, is featured in the newly released "𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗢𝗽𝘀" book 📚

[Paweł Zubkiewicz @pzubkiewicz]

How much do I pay for #AWS? How have my costs changed since last month?

Compare this month's costs with last month's, grouped by service to
✅ Spot any unusual cost spikes
✅ Evaluate the effectiveness of your #costOptimization strategies

Stay informed & in control of your bill

[Paweł Zubkiewicz @pzubkiewicz]

I've been working on the new @awscloud cost compare functionality for several days now. You can see
- month-to-month
- or day-to-day
details of costs by Region -> Service -> Usage Type.

It's almost ready to be released. #finops #CloudComputing

Great to see @Werner highlighting how @PBS reduced their streaming costs by 80%.

PBS has been a @JoinVantage customer for years - glad they're getting some well-deserved attention on their cost-related efforts!

This is BIG and a super helpful feature from @dynamodb🚀

It eliminates the need for any custom solution that relies on streams and adds no-code #Serverless integration between #AWS services. Brilliant🙌

#reInvent season is well and truly underway!

A thread on the NEW AWS 7th Generation "M" class using 4th Generation (Genoa) AMD instances : "m7a"

Note : my previous thread was on 7th Gen INTEL instances - these new instances are based on AMD cpu's.

Lets dive in!

August 1st, the AWS Batch team released support for the Spot price/capacity optimized allocation strategy. Previously we only considered capacity, so now you can get the best ratio of price and capacity. You should use this as the default for Spot

YES. *THANK* you! They exposed access to a freaking Microsoft Signing Key, and I don’t think anyone outside of the industry really grasps just how terrifying that really is.

Watch out for a single Usage Type "Storage-ShardHour" in your billing.

It means you're not actively using provisioned resources, and thus there is a waste in your account.

Let me know in the comments what you think about it.

[CloudPouch @CloudPouch]

Don't let cloud costs sneak up on you!

Watch out for waste (needless or idle resources, for which you pay).

Here is another real-world case study 🧵

[CloudPouch @CloudPouch]

Here is a real case of abandoned Provisoned Kinesis Data Streams resources.

Someone just forgot about it. Costs accumulated to 446 USD over a year.

Not much?

Yes, but that was just a single Account and 3 shards.

The most basic AWS cost tip 📝

When you stop your EC2 instance you still pay for all attached EBS volumes.
