As companies move more infrastructure and platforms into the public cloud the management, security and costs of those cloud-based services are often difficult to understand and predict. How can companies better use the cloud to make sure it's secure and cost-efficient?
This week the team share some of their experiences with recent cloud optimisation projects. They discuss the issues that come with running cloud environments, and how cloud can often bring unexpected costs in areas such as storage, backup and data movements.
But it's not all doom and gloom, they also chat about how to gain insights into a cloud environment and how that insight can have a significant effect on improving security and reducing costs by 20-30%.
If you are looking to optimise the way you are using the cloud, then this is the show for you.
