Issue # 109: October 11, 2024 to October 18, 2024

Hey Reader.

Welcome to Issue # 109 of AWS Graviton Weekly, which will be focused on sharing everything that happened in the past week related to AWS Silicon: from October 11, 2024 to October 18, 2024.

Enjoy.

Recommendation of the week: We need to chat about cost cutting on AWS

Before doing the standard stuff we do every week, I wanted to let you know I'm working with an amazing team to help you save big if you have your workloads on AWS today.

This team has built an incredible tool that is always running looking for ways to save money on AWS every single day.

The potential here? If you work with this team, you could save up to 20% or more of your AWS bills every single month if you put in practice their advice. This is a no brainer (from my perspective)

But in order to get the best deal, I need to know more about your AWS workloads.

So, the deal is very simple: reply to this email (or simply send me a separate message to marcos@awsgravitonweekly.com) with this information:

• Name of the company
• Company's email
• AWS monthly spend
• Region where the company is located
• DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure team size
• Major AWS service you want/need to optimize ASAP

In that way, they can have a better understanding of your workloads and give you a truly personalized advice how to cut costs on AWS without losing your sleep.
