Optimizing Your AWS Costs With CloudCheckr
- Oct 16, 2013 · 6:30 PM
The Topic
Public cloud costs often spiral upwards for users who do not employ careful controls. In this presentation, CloudCheckr founders Aaron Newman and Aaron Klein (see below) look at instance purchasing types, utilization levels, and factors that should be considered to effectively optimize your AWS spend.
They'll cover:
• Overview of costs in AWS
• Choosing on-demand vs. reserved instances vs. spot
• Optimizing resources
• And more!

I have always been against 3rd party software that doesn't add to the functionality of the vendor product; but, today, there are
so many consoles: software, hardware, network, and storage. And that's before you get to the database where my interests lie.I can see where costs could get completely out of hand on AWS... so I will be there to look and learn. Show us something you do that nobody else, not even Amazon, does. That's always a neat trick. See you in October.
