In this episode of the FinOps NEXUS Conference, Jon Myer sits down with Mike Thompson from AMD to discuss the critical topic of processor choice and its impact on net job cost and performance in cloud infrastructure. Mike explains how businesses can achieve performance-driven cost optimization by selecting the right processor, highlighting the significant impact of AMD EPYC processors in AWS's 7th generation instances. • The conversation dives into key strategies for maximizing efficiency and reducing costs, including modernizing cloud infrastructure, leveraging the right processors for specific workloads, and using AMD tools like the EPYC Instance Advisor for better cost estimates. Mike also emphasizes the importance of working with partners and third-party service providers for comprehensive FinOps assessments and highlights AMD’s involvement in AI and VMware cost optimization. • Key Takeaways: • Processor choice impacts TCO: Selecting the right processor, like AMD EPYC, can significantly reduce job costs by improving performance and efficiency. • Performance-driven cost optimization: Faster processors result in shorter runtimes and smaller footprints, cutting costs by up to 40%. • Tools for success: AMD offers tools like the EPYC Instance Advisor to help organizations optimize performance and costs. • Partner support: Leveraging MSPs and vendors for assessments is crucial, especially for companies without in-house expertise. • AI workloads: Many AI tasks can be effectively run on CPUs, offering cost savings compared to GPU-heavy solutions. • Timeline: • 0:00 – Introduction to Mike Thompson and the topic of processor choice. • 1:52 – The impact of processor performance on total cost of ownership (TCO). • 3:04 – AWS’s introduction of AMD EPYC processors and their cost benefits. • 5:23 – Challenges in selecting the right processor and using benchmarks. • 7:23 – AMD tools and partnerships for cost-saving assessments. • 9:27 – Three ways to optimize performance and costs using AMD processors. • 12:16 – Importance of modernizing infrastructure and rightsizing in cloud environments. • 15:14 – Addressing the VMware migration challenge with targeted application moves. • 16:37 – AMD’s role in AI and the effectiveness of CPUs for many AI workloads. • 🔔 Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more FinOps insights! • #CloudOptimization #FinOps #CostOptimization #AMD #CloudInfrastructure • Check out our podcasts and community website at: https://finopsnexus.com • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1iyJVVI... • #finops #cloudoptimization #cloudfinancialmanagement
