About Event

How do you scale Kubernetes without scaling your AWS bill out of control?

Join the AWS Community Bay Area for a technical deep dive into EKS compute strategies. Walid Battou (Solutions Architect at Teamwork & AWS Community Builder) will break down the technical and financial trade-offs between Fargate and EC2. We’ll explore the "hidden costs" of Fargate, the power of Karpenter for EC2, and real-world FinOps frameworks for containerized workloads.

Special Guests & Sponsors: We’re proud to be supported by Workato, and AWS.
