Here’s what we’ll discuss:
Cloud services are rapidly becoming one of the largest expenses in IT budgets, and understanding the economics of cloud operations is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
In this interactive session, we will:
- Dive into the technical, operational, and economic aspects of cloud economics, while also exploring how integrating sustainability into your cloud strategy can lead to both cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.
- Share real-life success stories of companies that have not only achieved a 10-15% reduction in cloud spend but have also significantly reduced their carbon footprint by adopting sustainable cloud practices.
- Explore strategies to eliminate over-provisioning, idle instances, replicated workloads, and redundant storage resources, highlighting how these optimizations contribute to both financial savings and environmental sustainability.
- Leveraging FinOps for Cloud Optimization: How cross-departmental teams drive efficiency, innovation, and sustainability through resource analysis, cost forecasting, and strategic alignment.
