Cloud optimization is supported by five pillars, regardless of your workload, architecture, or environment. The pillars of cloud optimization are:
Right size
Are you sure your plans match your needs? To put it simply, for compute, you plan for CPU, memory, storageand network throughput.
Added/Extraelasticity
Traditionally IT costs and hardware requirements are provisioned designed/planned for peak usage and are rarely used turned off. Once you move to the cloud, you will be able to meet your ever-changing needs and turn resources off when they are not needed, thus optimizing your cost. For example, in any given week, non-production instances can usually be turned off for 70% or more of the time.
Right pricing model
Usethe appropriate pricing model and optimize costs based on the true and unique nature of your workload.
Storage optimization
Reduce costs by identifying the most appropriate destination for specific types of dataand making sure you maintain the necessary performance and availability
Measuring, monitoring and improving
Together, we will define metrics, establish measurable goals and review the whole processwith an agreed upon and reasonable frequency.
