Old EBS snapshots that are no longer referenced are called orphaned snapshots.You can find and delete these to reduce your AWS bills. You can find orphaned EBS snapshots using AWS Console, AWS CLI, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager. Alternatively, Stream.Security offers an easier and scalable way to find and manage EBS snapshots with advanced search capabilities and architectural standards.

Managing costs effectively is crucial for organizations using cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS Cost Explorer is a powerful tool that provides insights into your AWS usage and costs, enabling you to make informed decisions about resource optimization and budgeting. In this article, we'll explore how to leverage AWS Cost Explorer to improve cost management on AWS.

AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) Explained: Unlocking Cost Insights and Optimization Opportunities

We understand how difficult it can be to fully understand what total cloud costs are: direct and indirect costs, applied credits, auto-scaling. But you can't bury your head in the sand and ignore them - you have to look them straight in the eye!

What is a Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)?

Las Vegas here we come! AWS re:invent is happening in Las Vegas from November 28 - December 1, it's a celebration of everything we love, ingenuity, innovation, and forward thinking technologists. It is why we are proud to sponsor this tremendous event this year. AmazonWeb Services (AWS) provides the most mature and scalable public cloud service for your business today, we provide a Cloud Infrastructure change intelligence platform that solves the complexity of cloud management - we are as they say "better together". It is a classic case of the sum is greater than its parts.We have assembled a team of cloud complexity re:solvers that are going to attend AWS re:invent and spread our message of saving time, money and team burnout by making the cloud simple to manage.

Running complex computing systems requires technology to make it easier for developers and managers to operate and constantly improve their applications. Containers are extremely effective for enterprises as well as startups Gartner predicts that 70% of global organizations will be running more than two containerized applications by 2023. Using containers reduces deployment time, review cycles and upgrades security with the inherent isolation of the product.

In the previous hands-on we went over how you can predict the impact of proposed changes made with Terraform and prevent critical mistakes before deploying them with Lightlytics Simulation.In our next hands-on, we'll go over troubleshooting issues in one of the top most used AWS services: AWS Lambda.

Harnessing AWS Budgets for Proactive Cost Management and Monitoring

Computing and production giants have realized that in order to predict outcomes in large-scale systems truly you need more than just a simulation. There are many definitions of a digital twin but the general consensus is around this definition "a virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle, is updated from real-time data and uses simulation, machine learning, and reasoning to help decision-making." By having better and constantly updated data related to a wide range of areas, combined with the added computing power that accompanies a virtual environment, digital twins are able to give a clearer picture and address more issues from far more vantage points than a standard simulation can, with greater ultimate potential to improve products and processes.
