Bringing down costs on maintenance is among the main reasons why companies migrate their workloads to the cloud. Indeed, cloud infrastructure can considerably reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) – provided that it’s designed to your needs and configured correctly. However, if you’re not careful, lack of a cloud strategy and random resource usage can actually make things worse, to such an extent that you can expect monthly increases in cloud spending and astronomical bills.
Reasons that can lead to increasing cloud costs include:
- Over-provisioning instances and paying for excessive capacities.
- Inefficient resource allocation due to poor configuration of services.
- Paying for abandoned resources no longer in use.
- Paying for 100% of computing capacities of underloaded resources.
