Cloud Costs

Hi. I’m going to try to take some time and somewhat consistently post things here that are on my mind. Today’s topic is around cloud spend. From the FOCUS site, you have 3 main things that you need to focus on. Inform, Optimize, Operate. Informing is when you get all of your cloud costs lined up and tagged and reported on in a manner that is best for the viewer. Your CEO, perhaps, maybe your peers, maybe leads and engineers and managers. All of which need different data from the cloud – and proper analysis. Here’s some links that I find helpful when thinking about reporting on the cloud.
