One of the biggest reasons of moving to the cloud is reduced costs. But cloud computing can be tricky; failure to correctly assess requirements and identify best-fit services can end up costing an organization a lot more than they may have originally anticipated. If you’re moving to Azure or already have workloads on MS Azure, these are six areas where you can—and should— implement changes to realise significant savings using Azure’s cost-optimization tool, which comes integrated into Azure. It is also a cache for data collection and analysis. There are also other tools that Azure offers to help with your cost optimization and planning, for instance: Azure Advisor, Cloudyn, Azure Budgets, Cost Analysis and Cost Calculator. You can use these tools to monitor resource usage and spending and run comparisons with other cloud environments. The following six best practices have proven to help organizations better leverage their existing resources on Azure and optimize costs. Try them, you ha...

Are You spending more on your AWS Cloud than you Should?

Image
The entire premise of cloud computing is based on cost savings; opex over capex, cost of installing and upgrading hardware, software, security, and resources and training. But a number of businesses are finding their cloud costs overshooting budgets despite following   recommended   AWS best practices, viz: rightsizing, scheduling, and buying Reserved Instances. Though these remain excellent means of cloud cost-optimization, they can be supplemented by others that often go overlooked but can help you cut down your costs substantially. Try these approaches to further optimize your cloud costs. Pick the latest instances AWS routinely releases new-generation instances that offer improved performance and greater functionality than their earlier model. Shifting to these, or alternatively downsizing instances with low utilization metrics, can help you benefit from cost savings while enjoying the same, or higher, performance levels. Match  storage tiers to your needs Organizatio...

Ten things to do right now to optimize your AWS cloud costs

Image
Optimizing your AWS cloud is not a one time process. It is an ongoing exercise in monitoring costs and utilization, analyzing the available data and taking appropriate action to maximize savings. Here are some basic actions you can take to trim cloud-related costs 1.Right-Size Identify which resources are not being utilized or under-utilized and stop or right size the resource in question. You can begin with AWS Cost Explorer Resource Optimization report. This will present a list of resources that are not being utilized properly. You can also utilize AWS Compute Optimizer to identify and remove performance bottlenecks. Other AWS tools you should be using include: Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon EC2 Spot Instances (in tandem with third party tools, such as Spotinst), Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) and Elastic Compute services (ECS – EC2 Model).   2.Refresh Instance Families Instance types within set groupings should be retired as a unit as and when the hardware they run on is...
