Managing cloud costs has consistently maintained the top spot among cloud challenges for the third year in a row. Budget overruns and the ever-elusive promise of cloud cost savings weigh heavily on the minds of 84% of cloud users and decision-makers. That’s why, throughout the month of March, we shared insights and strategies from our cloud experts to help you tame your cloud environments and, in turn, your cloud bills.

The very first takeaway that you’ll learn here should be that cloud cost optimization is not the same as cost reduction. In fact, cost reduction is a natural byproduct of cloud optimization. When you focus on maximizing cloud utilization, embracing efficiency, and realizing the true value of cloud investments instead of basic cost-cutting, meaningful cost savings should follow organically, without compromising performance or innovation.

When it comes to managing multi-cloud environments, it’s not just about provisioning fewer resources, but strategically maximizing what you already have before committing to more. That’s easier said than done, because if you don’t provision enough resources, you risk performance downgrades and downtime. So, how do you practically achieve that perfect balance between over- and under-provisioning?

In this whitepaper, we explore insights and strategies from our cloud experts to help you tame your cloud environments – and your cloud bills.
