Containerized workloads are some of the fastest growing services in AWS. Although managed orchestrators like Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS make containerized environments significantly easier to manage, many organizations still lack the data they need to track usage and allocate costs in a shared environment. In this session, learn how leading ECS customers optimize their environment by understanding what clusters cost down to the service, team, and application within the context of your cloud environment. Also learn how to evaluate whether you have the right set of resources to support you cluster and how to identify areas of waste to reduce expenditure.

• The shift to microservices leads to shifts in thinking and options moving to containers
• Happening productively at the container/service level now
- Security (AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM))
- Scaling (task-level autoscaling)
- Traffic management (Application Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer)

Post Container Deployment Real-Life?
• Beware of the
unscrupulous diner
• Users will spend more
when they are not aware of
pricing
• Is my cluster mix right?
• Should I be using…
• Spot Instances?
• Reserved Instances?
• Are my containers sized
right?
• Are they using all their
reserved resources, or just
wasting money?
