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 optimising 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 and discussing the impact of sustainability and GHG reduction initiatives on cost management.
  • Optimisation Techniques: Reviewing the steps taken to commence the cloud optimisation journey, combining human efforts and tools for effective cost management, and evaluating the scalability of commonly used methods.
  • Automation for Cost Savings: Investigating the implementation of automated actions to optimise cloud spend, addressing challenges in gaining engineer buy-in for automated recommendations, and ensuring application performance while automating cost-saving measures.

OTTO Ristorante

Located halfway along Woolloomooloo's wharf, Otto offers a modern Italian dining experience with a Sydney twist, boasting a stunning waterfront location. Despite being part of the same group as Quay, Otto possesses its own distinct character, offering a private and relaxed atmosphere. With its intimate decor, split-level space, and waterfront seating, Otto is a favourite among Sydney locals, offering a menu that changes with the seasons, featuring rustic Italian flavours.
