Amazon Confidential and Trademark Guide for Compute Breakout Session during August 18, 2022 AWS FinHack August 11, 2022 This document describes the activities that AWS Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will conduct with customers during the Compute Breakout Session in the August 18, 2022 AWS FinHack. The Breakout Sessions will be conducted virtually via Amazon Chime. Customers will use the Amazon Chime screen sharing feature to display their AWS usage data (from their AWS Billing Console, Cost Explorer, and Compute Optimizer) with the AWS SME. The assigned AWS SME will help the customer navigate those interfaces, interpret and analyze their AWS usage data, and identify opportunities for cost optimization. AWS has informed and reminded customers that they need access to their AWS Billing Console, Cost Explorer, and Compute Optimizer. If the customer is lacking access, then the SME and the customer should reschedule the Compute Breakout Session for a later date, after the customer gains access to those interfaces. Customers that purchase through AWS Reseller Partners often do not have access to those interfaces. For such customers we recommend that the SME and the customer arrange to involve the Reseller Partner in this Breakout Session. The SME can point out what type of information we seek at each step of this Breakout Session, and the Reseller Partner can comment on what information is available in the interfaces that are made available to the customer. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Tom Marchok (tmarchok@amazon.com).
