Cost optimization at scale: Architectural and operational best practices

Driven by a vision to innovate faster, Box knew they needed to modernize their applications and adopt cloud-native architectural patterns to fully realize the benefits of running on AWS. AWS collaborated with Box to deploy architectural best practices around data migration, storage, and compute services and modern DevOps practices.

The result? Box was able to innovate faster, reduce operational costs, and improve application reliability and delivery, resulting in over $2.23 million in annual savings.

In this session, you will learn how Box used AWS services and cloud-native architecture to drive operational excellence and cost optimization. We’ll uncover best practices for optimizing architecture on AWS to improve efficiency while reducing spend.

We’ll also share how the Box FinOps team leverages AWS tools to maximize cost visibility, enable accurate forecasting, and align cloud investments with strategic business goals.
