THE MOST UNDERRATED
COMPANY EXPENSE
CLOUD INFRA COST
Fundamental Maths for Tech Leaders
How to calculate your ideal
cloud cost?
During a study we spoke to 32
handpicked companies to
understand their cloud adoption
and its associated cost.
With that here are a set of
rules tech leaders to think upon.
Rule #1
Your infra spending is
directly proportional to your revenue.
Ideally your cloud cost
should be 0.05-3% of
your total revenue.
If not - Fix it!
Rule #2
Dev Servers are Cheap
Ideally your internal servers
like - Dev, QA, UAT etc should
not be more than 10-30% of
the total infra cost
Rule #3
Salary of DevOps Team is directly
proportional to your cloud cost.
Ideal spend on a DevOps
team should be 5-15% of
your total Cloud Cost.
Rule #4
Cloud Credits should last long.
Cloud credits should last longer.
As long as possible.
Never be in a mode of simply burning
cloud credits, just because you have
more than you need.
Rule #5
Adopt technology only when needed
Adopting new technology comes at a price.
Never adopt technology too early than
needed. Ideal way to approach is by
calculating total spend on adopting a new
technology vs its return in 1 year.
Rule #6
Be Cloud Platform Agnostic
Never write a code or plan an infra
that can only run on one specific cloud
platform.
Be Cloud Agnostic.
What if someone else has to offer a few
thousand dollars in cloud credits?
And…
If you’re here - we deserve a sales pitch.
If you’re lacking in any of the Rules we
mentioned then please feel free to reach
out to us.
Be assured we can help you
reduce your cloud cost.
