AWS FinOps Simplified

Part 1: Managing Your AWS Inventory

The objective of Part 1 is to help you understand and track your inventory. This is the first step toward eliminating waste. This part will help you know what you own and what your baseline spending is. If you do not have this information, you won’t know what to optimize! This is like knowing your inventory in a warehouse: if you don’t know what you have, you are poorly established to grow your business.

This part of the book comprises the following chapters:

Looking to start a FinOps practice but not sure where to begin? Not sure where to begin or how to save? Peter's book covers it all. He's read all of AWS service documentation to curate an easy to follow book with practical steps to start saving. Must ready, well worth the time and money invested for a huge gain.

As a Chief Product Officer, I've found this book written by Peter Chung to be incredibly information with both strategic and tactical details on how to manage and optimize costs with regard to cloud infrastructure. Peter defines FinOps as "the merging of financial accountability and management of cloud resources withcloud operations" and this book makes it clear on just how to do that. As any leader in the tech industry knows, cloud services and operations are fundamental to any software or digital platform and navigating how large, complex and technical products such as AWS can be tricky and confusing. This is further compounded by the fact that, it nearly requires you to be an expert in the service in order to even attempt to try to optimize financial and cost metrics. Reading this book is a short cut to understanding how to do that and I can't recommend it more.

Just read this new book, AWS FinOps Simplified: Eliminate cloud waste through practical FinOps by Peter Chung (Author). I learned many useful cost optimization and saving ideas/tools from this book, e.g. cost explorer, Anomaly detection with CloudWatch, Implementing tagging policies with SCP, Auditing with CloudTrail, Trusted Advisor, AWS Solutions, FinOps, AWS Billing Conductor, ... etc.I like Part 2 most, i.e. Part 2: Optimizing Your AWS Resources. It has 4 important chapters on how to optimize Compute, Storage, Networking and Cloud-Native environments (Auto scaling, ML, etc...) which can help SAVE a lot of $$$ !I also like Chap 12 which shows how to leverage and reuse existing customer ready AWS Solutions to save costs by instance scheduler and workspace cost optimizer.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
