The AWS Morning show you never knew you wanted

Join Pete and Jesse as they take two questions from the field about practical approaches to applying some of their previous teachings to real-world scenarios. Listen in to learn why Pete believes Compute Optimizer is criminally underused, why teams should have a dedicated individual focused on cloud spend optimization instead of asking an engineer to take it on as a side project, how cloud finance teams are finally starting to emerge and why that’s a good thing, how it’s amazing to see an AWS bill go down because of a cloud finance team’s efforts, why you should put as many guardrails in place in your cloud environment as you can, and more.
