Cutting Costs, Not Corners: Event-Based Cloud Cost-Control Workflows
Ever had a cloud bill you weren't expecting?
Cloud cost management isn't just about cutting expenses - it's about building smart, adaptable systems that respond to events in real time. In this intermediate session, we'll explore how these event-based processes can transform the way you monitor, manage, and optimise your costs across cloud services, featuring Amazon Web Services and AWS Glue as practical examples.
We'll cover:
Event-Based Principles: Understanding the difference between event-based and event-driven architectures, and why it matters for cost control.
Automating Cost Control: Discover how various cloud services can work together to create dynamic workflows that detect and respond to events and anomalies.
