6. AWS Cost Management- Why it Matters
Hey I heard we’re
moving to AWS-
Pay as you
go..easy
Hmm…but I have played
around a bit- It’s quite
challenging
Why? It’s self
service, I hear. Just
start using it and you
can easily track
Not that Simple- Our
bills are increasing but
we are getting benefits
too- How to balance that
Oh... I thought
AWS Console has
all controls and
make its easy
Look- We have to
Design and Architect
our Deployment well to
be cost efficient

14. Use AWS Managed Services
• Review your application
architecture and identify any
non-cloud component
• Review non cloud SW or
HW spend
• Identify cloud services that
can be used to replace them
and associated Capex and
support costs
