3 Steps to Analyze Your Cloud Bill Effectively:

1?? Break Down Key Cost Categories: Understand where your money is being spent:

  • Compute: Are you using on-demand instances when reserved or spot instances could save you money?
  • Storage: Are you matching data to the right storage tier (e.g., hot, cool, or archive)?
  • Networking: Are data transfer fees higher than expected due to multi-region traffic?

2?? Look for Unused or Overprovisioned Resources:

  • Idle Instances: Shut down instances that are running but not in use.
  • Overprovisioned Storage: Scale down volumes that are larger than needed.

3?? Identify Cost Trends and Anomalies:

  • Use cost analysis tools to spot sudden spikes or unusual usage patterns.
  • Look for seasonal trends and align spending with your actual business needs.

The Result?

By analyzing your cloud bill regularly, you can uncover savings opportunities, avoid surprises, and align spending with your business goals.
