On 23rd May 2017 I presented at the inaugural AWS Cost Optimisation meetup at the AWS office in Sydney, Australia. I’ve uploaded the slides from that presentation to SlideShare.
Mike Fuller from Atlassian also presented with more details of their ‘golden’ solution for billing file manipulation. An interesting solution for sure and I’m looking forward to the tools being open sourced in the next week or so. Hopefully Mike’s slides will also be up soon.
It was a great meetup - the audience of about 50 people was very engaged and there were some good discussions around the presentations, suggestions for future sessions and outlining of current pain points.
Thanks to Peter Shi (from AWS) and Mike Fuller for organising the meetup. You can signup for future sessions on the Meetup page. The next meetup will be held in a couple of months time.
My presentation was a very cut down version (time limited to 30 minutes) of the training course that I deliver for cloud training specialists A Cloud Guru. The full course is about 5 hours long and is priced at just US$29 - you can buy that course from the A Cloud Guru site - AWS Cost Control.
I also consult on cloud cost optimisation - if your AWS bill is out of control, or you want to set up best practises to stop that happening, please contact me via my consultancy, Vault Solutions.
