Easy to read and very succinct ! Loved this course. Its better than most other courses  out there that are either half baked or way to detailed. 

Excellent,  time and money well spent on this. 

Richard Guajardo

Got what I was looking for. I used this for my interview prep with AWS. 

Worth it !

Tammy Rogers 

Loved all the architecture diagrams. It really helped in understanding how each service would be used. 

Pretty detailed.

## Cost design principles
1. Transparently attribute expenditure 
e.g. tell each business until their expense and work with them to lower their expense.
1. Use managed services to reduce the cost of ownership.
1. Trade capital expense for operating expense. E.g. instead of buying your own infrastructure use IaaS.
1. Benefit from the economics of scale.
1. Stop spending money on data center operations.

## Four primary areas
1. Matched supply + demand
1. Cost-effective resources
1. Expenditure awareness 
1. Optimizing overtime

Using the most effective type of AWS service both in terms of performance and cost.

A Well-Architect system will consider the customer needs at the same time keeping in mind what is most cost-effective.
