In this session, Adam Richter, Senior Optimization Solutions Architect with AWS OPTICS, walks you through how to accurately predict your AWS costs by exploring the four main ways to calculate them: manual calculations using Service Pricing Pages, guided estimates with the public AWS Pricing Calculator, customized estimates and discounts through the authenticated Calculator in the AWS Console, and quick conversational estimates with the MCP Pricing Server. Using a simple example of storing 10,000 photos (100GB total) on S3 Standard in US East (N. Virginia) for a month, Adam demonstrates how each tool works, their pros and cons, and how to understand which AWS costs scale with usage versus those that remain fixed. This presentation is ideal for FinOps practitioners, cloud architects, and anyone looking to avoid surprises in their AWS bill through smarter planning and a better grasp of AWS pricing tools.
