Part 2: Optimizing Your AWS Resources

In Part 2, we will learn about the levers we can pull to realize actual cost savings and move toward eliminating waste. We will break this part into four categories. In Chapter 6, we will look at how to optimize compute costs. This means leveraging reserved instances, Savings Plans, spot instances, and AWS Compute Optimizer. Chapter 7 shows how to optimize storage costs using the right S3 storage tier, Ultra Warm storage, RDS Proxy, and EFS colder tier storage. Chapter 8 explores networking optimization such as lowering data transfer costs, leveraging VPC endpoints, and using Transit Gateways to reduce bandwidth. Chapter 9 provides other ways that customers can reduce costs beyond compute, networking, and storage.

This part of the book comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 6, Optimizing Compute
• Chapter 7, Optimizing Storage
• Chapter 8, Optimizing Networking
• Chapter 9, Optimizing Could-Native Environments
