Welcome to the Jon Myer Podcast, where we bring you experts who share their experiences and insights on the latest trends and challenges in the tech industry. Today, we have a very special guest, Roi Ravhon, joining us to talk about a topic that many of us can relate to – managing the cost of an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) environment.
As many of you may know, managing AWS EKS cost is no easy feat. What may seem cost-efficient at first can quickly become a nightmare down the road, especially when scaling up. With the use of Pods and Labels, but paying for Instances, it’s essential to stay on top of your spending.
Adding EKS to your tech stack brings a lot of complexity, and while it can bring significant value to your organization, it can also lead to cloud-waste spirals and cost-effectiveness plummeting. It can take significant time to identify, prioritize, and optimize spend, not to mention implement changes without hurting production.
In other words, instead of reaping the benefits of Kubernetes, you may end up trading one issue for another. That’s why we have Roi Ravhon with us today to share his expertise on building a cost-efficient EKS environment from day one. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the discussion.
