I like this. What a great idea for a consultancy. There must be so many organisations that are paying way more than they need by not tweaking each aws service they are using. Anything from using the wrong S3 storage type to using ECS when they could switch to Fargate.
- kavehkhorram 6y agoYou're exactly right. We've even seen very small pre-seed companies (with just a handful of EC2s) throwing away a few thousand dollars annually in extra charges to AWS. The problem becomes even bigger at large companies.
- dave_sid 6y agoIf you could somehow automate this and provide a tool that did analysis of a companies aws stack usage over a month and suggest configuration changes that would be a big thing.
- kavehkhorram 6y agoThat's what Usage does - we aren't a consultancy to be clear. We automate all of our recommendations (and occasionally add a human layer above it)
