The advent of cloud computing has introduced phenomenal changes in the way we build and deploy applications. With the continuous evolution of cloud computing models, the technology think tanks must make informed decisions about which cloud services and payment models can deliver the best results in the most cost-effective manner.

When new businesses (or an existing one looking to migrate) are envisioning their cloud adoption journey, they often miss out on a crucial step —setting up a cloud cost management framework. This miss may lead to a rapid rise in an organization’s cloud instances, less-than-optimal services, or issues with providers, leading to increased costs in cloud deployment and maintenance. In line with this, it is therefore imperative to address some of the common challenges when contemplating cloud cost optimization.

This eBook focuses on the cost optimization methods that should be applied to almost any cloud provider, while it provides guidance to help the Developers/DevOps Team adopt industry best practices to design, deliver, and cost-effectively maintain environments.
