JAWS PANKRATION 2021 – Up till Down
Very looking forward to be part next weekend of the JAWS PANKRATION 2021, a 24-hour online event organised by AWS User Group Japan. I will do a 15 minutes session talking about the “AWS Free Tier: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”. See you online soon!
ADDO 2021: Cost Optimization on AWS
Below the slides (in pdf) of the session “Watch Your Wallet! Cost Optimization on AWS” that I presented today at All Day DevOps, the world’s largest DevOps conference. For any doubt, suggestion or question, contact me.
EuropeClouds Summit 2021
Earlier this year, Forrest Brazeal wrote an article “Please fix the AWS Free Tier before somebody gets hurt” that went viral. Corey Quinn suggests “It’s Time to Rethink the AWS Free Tier”. When I wrote a news piece for InfoQ on the topic it proved to be a very popular one.
As it is a topic that developers care about and I believe that being aware of the limitations of the Free Tier is half of the solution, I decided to cover the topic at the upcoming EuropeClouds Summit. The title and abstract of the talk are below, hope to see you live at the conference!
AWS Free Tier: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
In recent months many experts in the AWS community have been questioning the AWS Free Tier, advocating for sandbox accounts on AWS and hard billing limits that cannot be exceeded. What safety nets can you put in place as a developer and what are the most common mistakes to avoid unexpected bills when experimenting with new services with the AWS Free Tier?
Dev Innovation Summit 2021
Tomorrow (Aug 18) evening at 8.30 CEST I will be live at Dev Innovation Summit discussing cost optimizations on AWS. Hope to see some of you there!
Back to All Day DevOps!
In October I will be back to All Day DevOps, the world’s largest DevOps conference, to talk about cost optimization on AWS. Below the abstract of my session.
Watch Your Wallet! Cloud anti-patterns that make your AWS bill skyrocket
Should you really always run your cluster in multiple availability zones? How can a transition rule to Glacier double your storage costs? I want to monitor and understand my data transfer costs, where should I start? Why are backups eating my database budget? What, one more storage class on S3? Following so-called “best practices” works only when you fully understand the implications, costs included. We will address a few cloud anti-patterns, making your bill smaller and your deployment better.
Looking forward to All Day DevOps 2021, see you on line on October 28th!
