#TheCloudShow – S2E2 – Cloud Economics

This topic is arguably the least understood both by businesses and
the technology industry itself. Cloud economics is more than just
cost optimisation, more than helping organisations when they move
to cloud and see their bill come in and recoil in horror as they
see the extent of their cloud sprawl. Every organisation hits a
point in their cloud journey where they really start to care about
their spend, especially when it is operational spend and this
normally happens after they complete a reasonably large migration
to cloud services. Be the pounds and pence of line items in the
bill or getting to predictive analytics to forecasting spend based
upon reasonably assumed points of peak usage. There is a veritable
smorgasbord of analytics solutions out there that offer this but
they get to a certain point and just stop or offer beta services
and claim no responsibility for things that are more complicated
that clients want to do with their services.
