AWS Summit Bangkok 2024

From the AWS Summit Bangkok 2024! The ABACUS digital team was honored to participate and share knowledge, represented by two outstanding DevSecOps Managers: Pee Navapol Tantechasa and Sun Artit Pintong.

They shared techniques for cost optimization on AWS Cloud to help companies reduce expenses, as well as manage the serverless infrastructure more efficienly, highlighting the following key points:

💡 Techniques for identifying high expenses and reducing costs in the cloud

▪️ Automatically shutting Down Cloud Resources for Non-Production Environments: Reduces costs after work hours

▪️ Rightsizing: Selects appropriate Instance Types for each application using AWS Compute Optimizer

▪️ Switching to EC2 Spot Instances: Significantly reduces EC2 Compute costs

▪️ Techniques for Handling EC2 Spot Interruptions:

- Use Attributed-Based Instance Selection

- Opt for Capacity Rebalance and Spot Allocation Strategies

- Employ Lifecycle Hooks to extend the duration for EC2 State changes

💡Technique for managing serverless infrastructure and incorporate it into DevSecOps delivery pipeline

▪️ Using App Composer: Assists in designing Serverless Architecture and generates SAM Templates

▪️ Defining SAM Custom Template: Uses Cookie Cutter to predefine various use cases, including CICD, Code Quality Scan according to company standards, helping to initiate projects quickly and with standards

These techniques not only help companies reduce costs but also enhance the efficient utilization of AWS Cloud.
