AWS Costs Explained | The Real Price of the Cloud and TCO

In this video, we take a step back and look at AWS cloud costs from a bigger-picture perspective, moving beyond simple hourly pricing comparisons. You’ll learn how cloud costs differ from traditional data centers by understanding Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), variable vs fixed expenses, and why elasticity, scale, and agility matter. We’ll also explore how AWS helps you align spending with real demand, focus on what differentiates your business, and design workloads that continuously improve cost efficiency over time. By the end, you’ll have the right cost mindset to make AWS pricing and optimization concepts feel natural and intuitive.
