As we covered in our last post (and you likely know from firsthand experience), the cloud is a powerful and convenient tool, but it can also be a costly one. Often, the excitement of migrating your organization to the cloud is overshadowed by a surprisingly out-of-budget cloud cost bill.
If you’ve been investing in cloud services for some time now but find that your cloud bill keeps going up instead of down, then it may be time for a cloud optimization strategy to increase the return on your investment.
Here are three tips that will help you better optimize cloud infrastructure, whether you are examining your own cloud use or the cloud use of your clients, all these tips can be easily utilized with Corent’s All-in-One Cloud Optimization Solution, ComPaaS.
Tip #1: Monitor Your Cloud Use
Optimizing your cloud infrastructure starts with taking a thorough look at how it’s currently working for (or against) you. By taking the time to review the automated advisories ComPaaS creates by analyzing cloud usage, you can better understand the impact of current cloud resources, and you’ll be able to put meaningful actions into place, often with a simple one-click action to execute the advisory action.
ComPaaS provides a convenient, single dashboard to monitor, optimize, and manage all clients from one simple view, allowing you to gain insights into your cloud optimization scenarios.
Tip #2: Make Impactful Decisions Based on Real Data
Based on what you’re able to learn from cloud usage data, proceed with that information to make the decisions about cloud resource management which will help better optimize your infrastructure.
Cloud cost optimization tools, such as ComPaaS, provide visibility into both internal and external service usage, allowing you to more easily identify opportunities for optimization across the entire portfolio of applications running in public clouds. With ComPaaS, you will receive real-time notifications prompting you to make those actionable choices which will better optimize the cloud and reduce cloud management costs.
Tip #3: Continuously Optimize the Cloud
Cloud optimization isn’t a one-and-done task; continuous optimization is the key to truly optimizing the cloud for long-term efficiency and cost savings. Through regular identification of optimization opportunities, you can continuously optimize cloud usage to ensure it fits both need and budget.
As with cloud monitoring and control, ComPaaS also provides automated, continuous cloud optimization, allowing you to monitor and manage every cloud account more efficiently, 24/7, 365 days of the year.
