Optimizing Cloud Costs

A Joint Technical Webinar with AWS

Why is my bill so high?

Example of deploying a “One-Size-Fits-All” Architecture:

  • Using AWS Transit Gateway (TGW) for Connecting PaaS services like S3 and RDS.
  • Injecting endpoints using Azure Private Link for functions in a VNET.
  • Relying on Virtual Private Gateways (VGW) for IPsec termination.
  • Managing ingress/egress appliances and load balancers.

Resulting in:

Distributed endpoints & traffic patterns

Instead of using the same connectivity model everywhere (Networks / Apps / PaaS / APIs / Serverless) custom taylor your connectivity using cheaper methods. ie. VPC spokes ($0.01/GB) vs. TGW ($0.02/GB)

Data Transfer

Using costly NAT gateways for Internet-bound/backhauling traffic can be avoided through more efficient placement.

Within Region Data Transfer

VPC peering: $7,000/Petabyte TGW: $20,000/Petabyte Choosing the right method saves money

Inter-Region & Cross-Cloud Data Transfer

Private WANs are 4-5 times cheaper per GB than cloud backbones

Advanced Security & Observability

Right-sizing security based on your requirements by avoiding sending unnecessary traffic to your firewalls can trim 20% alone in costs.

Operations & Monitoring

Switching from navigating multiple dashboards to a single MCN dashboard helps you find issues faster and operate your network with ease.
