Episode notes
Confusing Security Hub Renaming
- AWS Security Hub was renamed confusingly: the original became Security Hub CSPM, and a new different service took the old name.
- This naming risks harming customer careers due to its complexity and ambiguity.
Geographical Fiction in Local Zones
- AWS Local Zones often have misleading geographical assignments that don't match reality.
- "Local" is defined by latency math rather than actual physical or regional proximity.
Automate Alerts for Savings Plans
- Use AWS's new automated alert stack to detect underutilized Savings Plans quickly.
- This helps identify and return poorly planned savings for cost optimization.
