AWS Morning Brief for the week of July 12, 2021 with Corey Quinn.

Time to account for those account managers over at AWS! Join Jesse and Amy and Tim Banks(again!) as they lay out what exactly those account managers are. They spritely answer an array of potential questions about how to get into contact with your account team, what they do for you and your team, and the potential limitations of what you and yours can do to blip on their radars! For starters, to make that happen it helps to spend money!

AWS Morning Brief for the week of July 5, 2021 with Corey Quinn.

Join Jesse, Amy, and Tim as they talk about whether tagging is over-recommended as a cost reporting mechanism, how tags not being retroactive is a bummer, how there are a number of non-cost reasons to use multiple accounts, how tagging has benefits outside of cloud cost management, why cloud cost management isn’t just the engineering team’s responsibility, why you need to consider casing when you develop your tagging strategy, how a good tagging strategy is equally as important as tagging coverage, and more.

AWS Morning Brief for the week of June 28, 2021 with Corey Quinn.

Tim Banks is back and joins Jesse and Amy for another run as they reflect on re:Invent. Which, in the words of Tim, “is a week long sales pitch in the desert” in combination with “the worst version of corporate Burning Man you could imagine.” So circle the Teslas down on the Las Vegas Strip and lets figure out if re:Invent is even worth your time. Now that the world is supposedly re:Turned to normal. Our three hosts break down the upcoming Re:Invent in the wake of the pandemic. Is it worth it? Will there be some virtual/IRL hybrid event? Amy, Tim and Jesse bat around the idea of how to make re:Invent more interesting and it ranges from muppets throwing shade, tech themed RPGs, and HEY! Listeners...@ us for what you think should be on the re:Invent bingo cards.

Join Jesse, Amy, and Tim as they set the record straight on what concoctions can actually be called chili and which can not, how you’re out of luck if you’re trying to predict the cost of your architecture proactively, why you should turn on Cost Explorer Cost Anomaly Detection, how no one is required to run their applications in AWS, how it could be cheaper to host your apps on bare metal in certain scenarios, cost categorization and how to measure usage costs vs. base costs, why you need to leave things on as you onboard new architectures and applications, why you shouldn’t maintain something that’s not the core of what you do, and more.
