Cloud Cost Cutting Easy Wins for Your Business
Right-Sizing Your Instances
One of the quickest ways to slash cloud costs is to optimize your server instances. Many businesses over-provision, choosing larger instances than they actually need. This means you’re paying for processing power and memory that goes unused. Take the time to analyze your application’s resource consumption. Tools provided by your cloud provider (like AWS’s Cost Explorer or Azure’s Cost Management) can help pinpoint instances consistently underutilized. Downsizing to smaller, more appropriate instances can yield significant savings without impacting performance. Remember to monitor performance after making changes to ensure you haven’t impacted your application’s responsiveness.
