The AWS Cost Optimisation Webinar: How to reduce your spend without sacrificing performance

Watch the webinar now

About the webinar:

Roughly 20-30% of cloud spend is wasted every year. Not because cloud is expensive; but because unmanaged cloud is. With the cloud comes incredible flexibility but that flexibility can quietly drive up costs if it’s not managed intentionally.

In this webinar, we break down: how to get visibility and ownership over your spend, architectural quick wins (some you can action this week), what an optimisation journey actually looks like in practice, and how to build a cost-conscious culture that actually sticks.

What you'll get out of this webinar

Where AWS costs typically creep in unnoticed

The common architectural and configuration decisions that silently inflate your billand how to spot them before they compound.

Better price-for-performance without re-architecting everything

You don't need a ground-up rebuild. We'll show you high-leverage changes that improve efficiency within your existing stack.

Insights from an industry speaker

Hear real-world perspective from Glen at Fortescue on what cost optimisation looks like at scale in a resource-intensive environment.
