As organisations increasingly rely on cloud infrastructure, managing and optimising cloud costs has become critical. Many enterprises struggle with cloud expenses exceeding initial projections, necessitating effective strategies to control and reduce spending.
 
This session will explore best practices for improving cloud consumption and managing costs efficiently. Participants will gain insights into aligning cloud expenses with projections, leveraging automation for cost savings, and ensuring performance without compromising budget.
 
Key items discussed include:

  • Understanding Cloud Costs and Initial Projections: Exploring processes to align cloud spending with budget projections. Discussing the emergence of sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, on cost management.
  • Optimisation Techniques: Reviewing the steps taken to commence the cloud optimisation journey. Combining human intelligence with tools for effective optimisation and evaluating the scalability of commonly used methods.
  • Automation: Investigating how automating actions can help maximise application performance whilst optimising cloud spend. Strategies to gain engineer buy-in to maximise the benefits of automation.
