There's certainly wastage in large organisations. Over provisioning or keeping that huge S3 bucket full of data from some long forgotten project.
I suspect a lot of the huge AWS customers just eat this because it's so hard to mitigate.
If a business has hundreds of AWS accounts it becomes very hard to track, and if each account can only shave a few hundred dollars a month off their individual bill then there's very little impetus to actually do the work for the individual teams. Despite that possibly adding up substantial savings for the overall business.
- rgblambda 2y agoMy team was migrating from one cloud provider to another and I was tasked to go through the soon to be deleted accounts in the old provider and delete resources that we were absolutely sure were serving no purpose whatsoever. You'd wonder why this wasn't something done on the regular. Ended up saving at least $4000 dollars a month. And this was mostly sandbox environments that people forgot about.
- hereonout2 2y agoI can well believe it, I know in my own team's account I can save hundreds a month and multiple thousands a year. I keep raising this but it's never prioritized as it means taking my time from developing our products Essentially my manager then loses dev time to reduce a bill that due to institutional accounting practices they never actually see!
