Using AWS services can help optimize costs through several best practices:
1. Use consolidated billing to share volume discounts and reserved instances across accounts.
2. Turn off underutilized instances using AWS Trusted Advisor or CloudWatch to save on costs.
3. Use reserved and spot instances to save up to 90% compared to on-demand instances.
4. Consider using managed services to automate tasks and focus on higher value work.
5. Control access to resources through IAM to track usage and prevent unnecessary provisioning.
6. Design for elasticity with auto scaling instead of over-provisioning for peak loads.
7. Create billing alerts to monitor spend and set thresholds to be notified

Keep Cloud Transformation on Track: Nine Best Practices to Avoid or Break Thr...Amazon Web Services
This document summarizes 10 best practices for enterprises undergoing cloud transformation programs to avoid getting stalled in their progress. It notes that many programs experience prolonged stalls around 20% adoption as they transition from early adopters to the early majority. The best practices draw parallels between product adoption lifecycles and enterprise cloud adoption, noting that overcoming the stall requires recognizing when approaches that worked for innovators no longer apply to the early majority. It recommends conducting workshops to understand the early majority's needs, prioritizing reference projects they can relate to, changing team incentives and communications to appeal to them, and automating processes to scale beyond initial manual efforts.
The keynote document discusses cloud computing and AWS. It provides an introduction to AWS, reasons why companies choose AWS, and how to get started with AWS. Specifically, it outlines that AWS allows focusing resources on the core business, lowering costs of experimentation and failure. It then discusses how to get started, including building cloud-ready designs, moving new applications or existing "no-brainer" apps, and planning phased migrations of other existing applications.
This document discusses cloud economics and cost optimization on AWS. It begins with an agenda and overview of AWS's global infrastructure including 16 regions and numerous availability zones and edge locations. It then covers various benefits of cloud computing such as reducing overprovisioning, continual price reductions, increased workload flexibility, and avoiding hardware refreshes. The document discusses analyzing total cost of ownership and how customers can lower costs on AWS through pricing models, economies of scale, and increased utilization rates compared to traditional on-premises infrastructure. It also outlines categories of benefits including reducing operational costs, increasing workforce productivity, avoiding costs, improving operational resilience, and enhancing business agility.

The Sethi-Ullman algorithm was invented by Ravi Sethi and Jeffrey Ullman to generate optimal machine code from abstract syntax trees that uses the fewest possible instructions. It works by traversing the AST and assigning each node the minimum number of registers needed to evaluate its subtrees. It then emits code in a way that evaluates subtrees requiring more registers first to minimize overall register usage. This optimal approach produces the shortest possible code sequence for an expression.
This document discusses language translation systems. It describes three main types of translators: assemblers, interpreters, and compilers.

The document analyzes a film through several structuralist and narrative theories. It discusses how the film follows a linear narrative structure by revealing a secret over time until the twist ending. Initially, the ghost girl seems like the villain but the mother is revealed as the true villain. The film also features a false hero in the mother and creates initial confusion over the good and evil characters, as predicted by Todorov and Levi-Straus's theories. Barthes' theory of action codes is also reflected in how the adoption papers establish Amy's backstory without dialogue. The film challenges Faludi's idea that media portrays career women as unable to enjoy motherhood by featuring a working mother who provides for Amy.

Intended for customers who have (or will have) thousands of instances on AWS, this session is about reducing the complexity of managing costs for these large fleets so they run efficiently. Attendees will learn about common roadblocks that prevent large customers from cost optimizing, tools they can use to efficiently remove those roadblocks, and techniques to monitor their rate of cost optimization. The session will include a case study that will talk in detail about the millions of dollars saved using these techniques. Customers will learn about a range of templates they can use to quickly implement these techniques, and also partners who can help them implement these templates.

This document discusses how to build the business case for moving workloads to the AWS cloud by optimizing total cost of ownership (TCO). It provides tips on right-sizing instances, using reserved instances to reduce costs, increasing infrastructure elasticity, and continuously measuring and improving cloud usage to lower TCO over time. A case study example shows how one company was able to reduce their monthly EC2 costs by 33% through right-sizing instances, reserving capacity, and optimizing their architecture for cloud usage patterns and costs.
The document discusses various techniques for optimizing costs when using AWS cloud services. It recommends using spot instances, reserved instances, and managed services to reduce costs compared to on-demand instances. It also suggests right-sizing instances to match workload needs, using containers to improve density, and adopting serverless architectures to optimize for pay-per-use and continuous scaling. Additional tips include using tools like Trusted Advisor, tagging resources, and automating schedules to optimize development environments.
The document discusses how AWS Marketplace allows customers to discover, procure, deploy, and manage software in the AWS cloud. It notes that AWS Marketplace has over 3,800 software listings from more than 1,200 independent software vendors. It also discusses how AWS Marketplace provides value to customers by allowing them to rapidly deploy software on a pay-as-you-go basis, easily procure software, and tie software costs to actual usage.
