34. Change in Behaviour
“Great work tracking these down. Motivates me to run a similar audit on one of my accounts”
“It is my belief that all the instances here
can be removed so that we can save
some money in our AWS accounts”
“If every instance is deleted here
I believe we would save around
$70,000 in the next 12 months”
If you want to
change attitudes,
Start with a change
in behaviour.
