🚀 Agenda:
🎤 Adrian Hunter - What new in AWS
AWS Enterprise Solutions Architect
🎤 Mai Nishitani - How much does your AI workloads cost on AWS and beyond?
Director Enterprise Architecture (Financial Services) at NTT DATA
In this session, Mai will tackle a question most organisations still can’t answer clearly: what actually counts as an AI workload on AWS and other clouds, and what does it really cost? She will go beyond the AWS Cost and Usage Report to show how to:
- Identify and define AI workloads across services and providers
- Attribute shared infrastructure and managed services back to specific AI use cases
- Break spending down to per-request and token-level economics
