Cloud platforms make it easy to start, but costs can grow quietly as environments multiply. A short review often reveals significant savings.
Right-size instances based on actual utilisation instead of initial estimates. Many servers run at a fraction of their provisioned capacity.
Schedule non-production environments to shut down outside working hours. Development and testing servers rarely need to run around the clock.
Move infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage tiers and set lifecycle policies so old backups are archived automatically.
Use reserved or committed-use pricing for stable workloads and set budget alerts so unexpected spikes are caught early.
