I think that anything that helps reducing aws bill is more then welcome: AWS is getting tons of $$$ that company can easily save: everybody in the IT (management included) knows and clearly see it from the huge monthly bills they get compared to some years before, but how to spot it?
There are some AWS tools to do it, but they cost too, and of course cannot spot many ways to save money, but there are.
On of my customer told me: we can easily pay you a full month of the saving we get after your cost optimization work (it ended up a lot of $$ :), but the hard part is that to be able to help them save money, you kind of need full root access, and you wont be able to easily get it unless the company is small (or not structured).
- oriettaxx 3y agoas to how save money: just check every item in the bill, once you optimize assure cost do not increase monthly. Try to investigate traffic, too: not many knows that, if you are using a VPC (and everybody should, AWS correctly states) you pay the traffic from your instances to S3, and this can be quite a lot! you can zeros that cost by creating a (free of costs) S3 gateway. I think AWS has several internal tools that tell them the amount of $$ customers are just wasting: then they LOL every end of the month ;)
