Continuous cost and sustainability optimization (AWS Summit Amsterdam talk)

In this session, Nataliya and Francesc discuss best practices how to shift cost and sustainability responsibilities from the Cloud Center of Excellence to end users and application owners aided by monitoring at scale. Building upon real-world use cases, explore cost efficiency implementing mechanisms that empower application owners to have clear, actionable tasks for cost and sustainability optimization. Leveraging an example of a suboptimal architecture, we will guide you through some foundational and more advanced optimization techniques that you can start applying in your environment right now.
