🎉 Celebrating Cost Efficiency Wins!

Hi there,

Every entrepreneur loves to hear about saving money, and my clients have achieved just that with my guidance. Together, we’ve reached significant AWS cost savings in the past 12 months. This milestone isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to how effective cloud cost management can be.

Hey 10 million USD savings! I'm coming for you!

🌟 Feedback—The Fuel for Improvement

Asking for feedback is essential for growth. When a project wraps up, I ask clients two simple but powerful questions:

  1. What did you enjoy about our collaboration?

  2. What could have been better?

3

This really helps me build stronger relationships and keep improving. A recent client shared, "You’ve been excellent, and we’d love to work with you again." Moments like these fuel my commitment to delivering value. If you’re seeking better outcomes, ask for honest feedback, you might be surprised by what you learn!

đź“Ś Bookmark This: AWS Global Health Dashboard

We all know that high availability is really high nowadays, but still. The Global AWS Health Dashboard is your go-to. It keeps you informed about AWS service statuses worldwide. Reliable service is key, and AWS is continually expanding to ensure availability globally.

🌍 AWS is Growing: New Regions, New Opportunities

AWS is opening new regions in Mexico, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the European Sovereign Cloud. These new areas are part of AWS’s expanding global network, which now spans 34 regions and 108 availability zones. This growth means more reliable, localized support for your cloud projects—wherever your business may reach.
