AWS Morning Brief for the week of May 17, 2021 with Corey Quinn.

Join Jesse and Amy as they about the four-item cloud cost management starter kit, how to explain being a cloud economist to someone else, why you should turn on the AWS Cost and Usage Report immediately, why you need to get to know your account manager and build rapport with them, how that relationship is designed to be mutually beneficial, how it’s important to know about the contracts and reservations that exist across your organization (not just in your department), why you need to think about the non-technical parts of cloud projects (e.g., people and process costs), and more.

Join Corey, Pete, and Amy as they say goodbye to Pete in his last show as a host of Fridays from the Field before he moves on to his next endeavor. Tune in to learn about how Pete wound up at The Duckbill Group by luck, how even if you think you know your way around AWS you’ll quickly find out how little you really understand when you become an AWS cloud economist, how effective written communication is essentially a superpower, how cloud economics is the intersection of architecture and cost, and more.

AWS Morning Brief for the week of April 3, 2021 with Corey Quinn.

Join Pete and Jesse as they take some more questions from the field and touch upon why no finance or products teams really monitor cloud spend at most organizations, how if monitoring cloud spend is everyone’s job, it’s really no one’s job, why you might want to pick up a copy of the O’Reilly book Cloud FinOps since you’re reading these words, why you might want to migrate storage to the cloud first before anything else, how Amazon will aggressively help some customers migrate to AWS (e.g., from Oracle), how it’s important to understand the why behind migrating to the cloud, and more.
