AWS Amazon Q was surprisingly helpful at saving me money

I was doing some end of year audit and noticed the aws bill higher than i thought i should be. Normally this is a PITA to track down orphaned crap and review all the details, but for the sake of laziness i tried out the AWS i guess its called amazon q and it looked into all my costs and helped me track down some orphaned elastic ips and some other noise and save me about 50% of my monthly bill from just left over experimental clutter. Nothing else, just passing along something that i normally would have groaned at dealing with and instead was pleasantly surprised

At this point, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where the disagreement starts Time will tell. At least from my perspective.

Looking at this, this feels like a half-step, not a full move Let’s see what happens next. Others will probably see it differently.

there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which explains why reactions are split That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.

Trying to be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven Hard to say where this lands long term.

If we’re being honest, the wording alone shifts how people read this which makes the reaction pretty predictable Hard to say where this lands long term.
