    Reduce your cloud spending by analyzing resource usage.

    Why Do Cloud Costs Increase?

    The flexibility of the cloud can sometimes lead to uncontrolled cost increases. Over-provisioning, unused resources, and unoptimized architectures are the main causes.

    Cost Optimization Strategies

    1. Right-Sizing

    Analyze usage data. Downsize over-provisioned servers. Upsize under-provisioned servers.

    2. Clean Up Unused Resources

    Delete test servers that weren't shut down, unused storage areas, and snapshots that are no longer needed.

    3. Reserved Instances

    Get significant discounts by purchasing reserved capacity for predictable workloads.

    4. Auto-Scaling

    Build systems that automatically shrink during low load and grow during peak periods.

    5. Scheduling

    Shut down development and test environments outside working hours.

    FinOps Approach

    FinOps is a discipline that brings together finance, technology, and business units to optimize cloud spending.
