And the CFO Wept: AWS Cost Control
summary
Tells how AWS bills balloon with concrete fixes: run a tagging audit to tag everything so finance can allocate costs; buy Reserved Instances to cut ~20% with five clicks; watch S3 multipart uploads that create ghost objects and turned 3 TB into a 40 TB bill until lifecycle rules remove them; use a Slack bot to auto-stop idle dev clusters; notes lambda rarely moves the needle and that at extreme scale moving 5 PB repeatedly can cost millions unless architecture changes, so prioritize analytics then targeted architecture work.
