MANAGE CLOUD
COSTS?

10. Our Cost Management Philosophy
9
• If you don’t see it, you can’t measure it.
• If you don’t measure it, you don’t know if you are on the right
path to optimize.
• How: Have a single place to gather and see all your costs.
That way, you can concentrate on the important parts of your
bills.
• You can then measure how much of an impact your
optimizations are having.
