**Cost Allocation Strategy**

***

**1\. Building a tagging dictionary and automated controls for cost allocation strategy**
by Mohamed Othman, Sr. Technical Account Manager at AWS and Gabor Schulz, Sr. Technical Account Manager at AWS

**What is the session about?**

* Tagging is one of the foundational steps required in order to establish centralized operations management and a meaningful cost allocation model. Centralizing and maintaining consistency for tags across AWS Organizations and enforcing a centralized conditional tagging can be challenging. Building a tagging dictionary and cost allocation strategy provides management and operations teams important data about cost utilization and groups workloads that can be used for making decisions. In this session we show how you can implement centralized automated controls and a tagging strategy to ensure tags are in place for new and existing resources across AWS Organizations.

**Who will present?**

* Mo joined AWS in 2020 as a Technical Account Manager, bringing with him 7 years of hands-on AWS DevOps experience and 6 year as systems operation admin. He is a member of two Technical Field Communities in AWS (Cloud Operation and Builder Experience), focusing on supporting customers with centralized operations management, CI/CD pipelines, and AI for DevSecOps.
* Gabor is a Senior Technical Account Manager at Amazon Web Services. He has more than 14 years of experience if software engineering and with developing solutions at scale. He's passionate about cost-efficient infrastructures, cloud operations and developing in Python.

**2\. Automating AWS Account Setup with Backstage: A Practical Approach to Integrated Cloud Services**
by Philipp Bergsmann
EMEA Black Belt, Managed OpenShift, Red Hat

**What is the session about?**

* This session, led by Philipp, addresses the challenge of manual AWS account creation, a bottleneck in cloud adoption. It introduces Backstage, an open-source platform for building developer portals, as a solution to automate the AWS account provisioning process. The approach uses a predefined GitHub repository template to initiate the account setup, equipping it with essential services and configurations. Attendees will learn how Backstage creates a new GitHub repository from a template, which includes an account blueprint and a pre-configured GitHub Actions pipeline for seamless deployment into the new AWS account. This automation allows organizations to focus on customizing and optimizing their cloud platforms, achieving higher platform maturity and operational excellence.

**Who will present?**

* Philipp is part of the EMEA OpenShift Black Belt team at Red Hat, focusing on the managed cloud offerings. He has worked in the IT industry for about 20 years in various roles, from development to cloud infrastructure consulting. Over the last few years, Philipp has worked extensively on Kubernetes-related topics, planning and implementing Kubernetes platforms with various local and international companies.
