The document discusses the need for workload aware spend optimization when moving workloads to the cloud. It outlines a methodology for defining, refining, and optimizing cloud initiatives by baselining workloads, establishing organization and migration tracking, implementing feedback loops, and achieving business agility. The methodology aims to optimize both cloud spending and end user experience using New Relic's monitoring capabilities.

Defining
We can realize some
immediate cost savings.
Closing down data
centers, etc.
Refining
Here we start re-architecting,
expanding cloud product
use. But, costs may be
running away again.
Optimizing
Full usage of Cloud
benefits, but a wary eye
on spend. Focus on end
experience and
performance.
