Cloud Cost Optimization Best Practices

After two difficult years marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, rising global inflation has sparked another wave of uncertainty across all market sectors. Executives worldwide are anxiously observing rising prices and mounting wage pressure, and wondering how to plan their 2023 budget effectively under such difficult conditions.

Since cloud infrastructure usually accounts for a significant portion of organizations’ budgets, optimizing your cloud costs is essential to drive your spending down. Cloud cost optimization is an arduous process. Sometimes it might even require migrating some of your workloads to a different cloud platform. All of this trouble pays off in the long term, however. As a result, cloud cost optimization is one of the best investments your organization can make in the challenging market conditions of 2023.

Hence, we built our cloud cost optimization playbook to help you discover proven techniques to reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO).
