Key recommendations include adopting Infrastructure as Code from day one, implementing multi-account AWS strategies, using elastic compute like EKS Auto Mode or ECS on Fargate, and applying multi-tiered LLM strategies via Amazon Bedrock to route simpler tasks to cheaper models. A case study with mokSa.ai shows how GPU time-slicing on EKS reduced costs from $353 to $27 per camera per month — a 12x reduction. Kashtan also highlights upcoming EU AI Act compliance requirements as a driver for AWS governance tooling adoption. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
