Episode 17: Well-Architected Pillar: Cost Optimization
30 Aug 2025
In this episode, we explore the final pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework: cost optimization. AWS offers a flexible pricing model that allows you to only pay for the resources you use, but it’s important to design your systems to minimize costs while still achieving the required performance and reliability. We’ll discuss strategies for monitoring and controlling costs, such as rightsizing instances, selecting the appropriate pricing model (On-Demand, Reserved, Spot), and using services like AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets.We’ll also explain how to leverage AWS tools to track your spending, set budgets, and identify cost-saving opportunities. By understanding cost optimization, you’ll be able to avoid over-provisioning, ensure you’re getting the best value for your investment, and maintain cost-effective operations as your business grows. This pillar is crucial for building sustainable and scalable cloud architectures. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, your trusted resource for expert-driven cybersecurity education.
