Amazon Web Services (AWS) Secrets Manager now makes it even easier to consume secrets on EKS clusters! Today, Secrets Manager announces EKS Add on for AWS Secrets Store CSI Driver provider -a simplified experience making the installation a single step process, eliminating the development overhead. This new integration allows customers to retrieve secrets from AWS Secrets Manager and parameters from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and mount them as files on their Kubernetes clusters running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Check out What’s New Post: https://lnkd.in/gceqajq7 Get started with the feature:  https://lnkd.in/gAmSnnja Hit me up if you are interested to learn more, become a partner or connect with me at Re:Invent 2025 #AWS #security #reInvent2025 #AWSSecretsManager

Oracle's stock decline today follows reports suggesting thin profit margins in its AI cloud business, including an estimated $100 million loss from renting NVIDIA chips. The opportunity Oracle missed? Proactive cloud cost optimization. I've seen parallels between complex cloud billing and the baffling telecom plans of yesteryear—where every API call, data transfer, or log ingestion adds up like texts and cat videos on old cellular bills. Even tech giants aren't immune to cloud cost traps. Without centralized visibility and governance, investments in high-demand assets like Nvidia chips can erode margins, turning growth engines into money pits. Oracle's aggressive AI push, including the Stargate project with OpenAI and SoftBank for massive data centers, underscores the need for balancing innovation with fiscal discipline—forecasting $144 billion in cloud revenue by 2030 is ambitious, but unsustainable if costs run unchecked. How can others avoid this folly? Leverage TEM solutions like T E M T R A C E to extend proven telecom expense strategies to cloud management. T E M T R A C E provides real-time visibility into usage, automates invoice auditing, flags inefficiencies (like overprovisioned GPU rentals), and enforces policies to prevent data bloat or compliance risks—much like the financial firm's guidelines on limiting debug logs and sensitive data storage. In an era where AI cloud spend can balloon overnight, tools like TEMTRACE turn reactive billing shocks into proactive savings, ensuring scalability without the margin meltdown. What are your thoughts on cloud cost governance in the AI boom? #CloudOptimization #AI #TelecomExpenseManagement #Oracle #CostControl
