AWS REGRETS: GREMLINS IN YOUR CLOUD SUCCESS
Amazon Web Services are made of win and awesome. The marketing really does ring true, even if your buzzword bingo count has to be a 64bit int so it doesn't overflow. It's trivial to setup a modern [buzzwords here] application in AWS and have it running smooth as silk. It's all sunshine and butterflies until you find out that thing you were meant to do, the cleanup you forgot, or the reasonable assumption that turned out to be unreasonable.

The marketing really does ring true, even if your buzzword bingo count has to be a 64bit int so it doesn't overflow.

It's all sunshine and butterflies until you find out that thing you were meant to do, the cleanup you forgot, or the reasonable assumption that turned out to be unreasonable.
This presentation is about about the gremlins hiding in your "Cloud Success". Did you forget to delete that DNS entry after deleting your S3 bucket? Oh too bad, your subdomain belongs to Rick Astley. Think a third party has assumed a role in your account? Too bad it was only logged in the source account, not the destination. These are just a few of gremlins that you will learn about.
If you have an AWS deployment of any size, be prepared to send panicked questions to your system engineers. We certainly did (hi Mike).Other authorsSee publication -

This session will explain exactly what EC2 rightsizing is, how to identify an EC2 instance that is oversized and how to calculate your potential savings. Atlassian will share a solution they use which allows them to perform EC2 rightsizing efficiently at scale.
