_Cloud costs too much?

Controlling and reducing costs are among the most important factors relevant to many companies using the cloud. Without proper care and action, cloud bills will rise unnecessarily.
review

61%* of companies plan to optimize cloud costs, but 49%* are struggling to get full control over cloud spending.

* Anodot: 2021 State of Cloud Cost Report

According to Gartner, global end-user spending on cloud infrastructure services increased by  18,4%, (equivalent to $304.9 billion), in 2021.

_Cut the cloud environment costs by up to 80%

Cloud providers offer many optimization levers. The most expensive is on-demand capacity. To encourage advanced scheduling and increased commitment (reserved instances), cloud providers offer discounts for commitments that typically require complex calculations when booking.

Not all resources are always necessary, and replacing, repairing or even shutting them down appropriately can bring noticeable financial benefits, lower cloud spend and significant cost savings.

_The process of Cloud Cost Management in the cloud - companies' needs and challenges

The cloud is not only changing the way IT solutions are designed and delivered, but also significantly affecting the processes and financial aspects that should be adopted.

Low awareness of the necessary changes in cloud deployment's technological and operational areas often results in overestimating usage costs. Meeting the needs for increased cost efficiency and finding the right method to manage costs face challenges.

Curbing rising cloud costs

Many technical, product and cloud teams can deliver IT infrastructure and services automatically and almost autonomously, thereby generating rising cloud costs - without finance department approval.

Tick icon

Simplifying cloud pricing plans

The cloud is constantly evolving, with new services and changes in pricing plans appearing all the time - and there are many pricing models, too. Forecasting costs and managing cloud finances is a challenge.

Tick icon

Full visibility into cloud usage and associated costs

Without the right cloud cost reporting tools and knowledge, it becomes difficult for large organizations to interpret costs and gain adequate insight. This is especially true for those with multiple branches scattered around the world.

Tick icon

Multiple clouds under full cost control

The way the cloud works and its features allow multiple people inside the organization to provide new resources. Additionally, multiply the challenges of controlling and predicting costs by 2 or 3 when an organization uses more than 1 cloud.

_Prognosis of costs and identification of optimization areas - Cloud Cost Audit

Cloud Cost Audit is part of our Cloud Cost Optimization offering and one of cloud cost management tools. The purpose of this service is to identify areas of optimization and to propose and execute corrective actions.

It consists of:

Detailed interview and workshop with the customer

The result: a preliminary assessment of the cloud environment.

Decision point

Result: the customer chooses which category of optimization service design (among those presented) he wants to use.

Launch of automated discovery and analysis tool

Result: we prepare detailed reports based on the results.

Final results with detailed analysis

Result: a report and a workshop on the audit results, during which we make specific optimization recommendations.

_How to optimize cloud costs? Learn about our ways

We support 3 categories of activities (projects) to start optimization and see measurable results quickly:

Fast and simple

Days

In most cases, this category concerns misconfigured or completely redundant resources but does not affect the solution architecture. The turnaround time is days, and sometimes even just hours. Very often, we can see the effect of lower costs the next day.

Examples:

  • Configuration changes
  • Costs avoidance
  • Elimination of waste

Medium

Days - Weeks

In that category, we face problems that require more planning. Additional analysis of the potential impact on other components or services of the organization is often required. This is especially important in the case of irreversible operations, e.g., termination of potentially redundant resources that were initially uncertain. For this reason, we can expect cost reductions within days or weeks.

Examples:

  • Service substitution
  • Elimination of waste
  • Rightsizing

Complex

Weeks - Months

This category always requires significant changes to the architecture of a solution that are never quick or easy to implement. Hence, a work period of several weeks must be considered before the estimated savings are achieved.

Examples:

  • Implementing the Cloud Native concepts like Serverless
  • Migration of Lift&Shift to more elastic architectures
  • Spot Instances implementation

_Benefits of cloud cost optimization

Significantly reduced costs of using the cloud

Through careful selection, implementation, and scaling of cloud resources, you can reduce the waste of cloud resources and achieve optimization of IT processes.

All clouds under control

Analyzing cloud environments, including multi-cloud or hybrid cloud, for performance and needs allows you to identify areas of optimization and then adjust them to deliver more value at a lower cost.

Cloud cost transparency

Cost optimization impacts the financial and operational aspects of a company. It improves visibility and identifies idle resources. In addition, it helps increase company profits when cloud spending is monitored and organized. Cost forecasting becomes easier.

Support productivity and innovation

Cloud-optimized companies empower employees to make productive choices. Optimizing cloud costs through TT PSC saves your employees time and allows them to focus on developing other aspects of your business.

_Want to tame rising cloud costs but don't know where to look or where to start?

_Adequately designed CAF and implemented LZ as vital support for cost optimization

Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Landing Zone (LZ) are key to optimizing cloud costs and enabling efficient resource management.

Tick icon

As a set of best practices and tools, the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) standardizes and automates processes, which minimizes the risk of overspending and inefficiency.

Tick icon

Landing Zone (LZ) is the underlying environment that ensures secure and cost-optimized deployment of cloud resources. Correct LZ implementation ensures scalable flexibility, security, and automation of cost policies, helping avoid unforeseen overspending in the future.

A well-designed CAF and properly implemented LZ impact the cost-effectiveness of the cloud, reducing operational costs and management issues, and allowing organizations to focus on innovation.
