The Cloud Compute Commitment Handbook

A guide to using automation to help you manage compute commitment discounts for the public cloud

The pursuit of new ways to optimize cloud spending and prevent cloud costs from spiraling out of control is as old as the public cloud itself. It’s true that optimizing areas such as storage or database usage can help, but the greatest potential for cutting your public cloud costs lies in optimizing your compute spend. Given that compute costs typically represent anywhere from 50-80% of your overall cloud bill, it makes sense to prioritize this objective in the quest to reduce your overall public cloud costs.

In this ebook, we tell you what you need to know about forecasting cloud compute needs and managing commitments, before presenting a solution that streamlines the process through automation.
