Non-prod environments don’t require the same levels of performance, availability or uptime that production environments do. Yet many are run like production environments, at a great cost. This problem will only grow as more legacy apps migrate to the cloud. So today, we’re looking at 6 tactics to drive down non-production costs (and carbon) for AWS users.

Like DevOps, FinOps is a portmanteau word (a word made by combining two others) and a portmanteau concept. Where DevOps is the joining of development and operations, FinOps is the joining of operations and finance. Like DevOps, FinOps has arisen from a frustration with siloed business capacities, and again like DevOps, FinOps is a part cultural, part tool-driven practice.

Amazon CloudFront is a Content Network Delivery service (CDN). CDNs are primarily used to reduce latency. They do this by serving certain types of content (images, videos and static files) from servers that are geographically closest to any particular user. I.e. users in France will receive content from the server in Paris; users in Malaysia will receive content from the server in Kuala Lumpur.

Having spent the best part of the last 15 years working in cloud cloud consulting I like to think I know a little bit about public cloud and its challenges. One thing that comes up time and time again in conversation with those that we have helped move to cloud is the lack of control over usage, generally a response to continuously rising bills with no clear indication as to why.
