Managing AWS Costs with Reserved Instances
AWS reserved instances are an economical way to reduce your AWS costs. Here at Ambassador Labs, we’ve adopted some basic strategies for optimizing our costs. These strategies are designed for companies that don’t want to invest a lot of tools and technologies in optimizing cost, yet want to make sure things don’t get out of control.
Here’s our list of strategies:

Companies thriving in the new world order have technology as a core competency. They build complex cloud applications. They constantly bring new capabilities and features to the market.

There’s a reason it is so en vogue – it solves lots and lots of problems and has zero negative effect on our projects, right As with every tool, technology, or paradigm thrust upon us as we scrappily try to maintain our sanity while jumping from shiny to shiny, we need to learn the gotchas.
To do this, I like to start with a simple question: How might this new shiny bite me on the ass, and what can I do to avoid having teeth marks on my rear? I want to tackle a problem I have seen repeatedly during my consultations with teams/organizations adopting Docker.
