Optimizing EKS workloads for cost and efficiency

Brendan Cooper
Head of Marketing

Are you aligning your cloud infrastructure with business goals—or just paying for convenience?

The Frugal Architect emerged to tackle the inefficiencies in cloud-native architectures, where overspending on resources is common. It offers strategies for optimizing cloud costs while maintaining performance, complementing the AWS Well-Architected Framework's focus on cost optimization. By promoting lean, cost-conscious design, it helps teams maximize infrastructure value while aligning with best practices in the cloud-native ecosystem.

In this webinar, we’ll explore AWS's Well-Architected best practices specifically tailored for containerized environments with Nataliya Godunok, AWS Cloud Optimization SME. We’ll also discuss how to apply these practices in real-world scenarios to ensure your container infrastructure operates at peak efficiency.

What we will cover:

  • How to focus on cost as a non-functional requirement when architecting on AWS.
  • Key design principles and how to make architectural trade-offs that align with your business goals while optimizing container performance.  
  • Emerging FinOps strategies around people, process, and culture.

Who is this webinar for:

  • Architects looking to gain insights into how AWS approaches the management of container workloads, including strategies for improving scalability, security, and reliability.
  • DevOps and Platform Engineers looking to optimize their EKS workloads the Well-Architected way.
  • FinOps professionals looking to implement best practices to ensure cost-effective, performant applications.
