Challenge
Annual AWS Bill Growing by Millions per Year
Customer is three years into their cloud adoption journey. They have large scale adoption across all business units. New applications and workloads must be developed and deployed in the cloud. Thousands of legacy workloads are being migrated to the cloud as part of data center consolidation and reduction efforts.
Customer utilizes multiple public cloud providers. At this scale, the customer’s annual cloud bills from AWS and other cloud providers are scaling faster than anticipated due to over-provisioning, infrastructure unnecessarily running 24/7/365, and the inability to identify unutilized or orphaned resources. Existing systems and manual remediation efforts aren’t effective at controlling costs. The inability to control costs in the cloud, specifically wasteful spending, is calling into question the underlying economics and the promise of cloud adoption at scale.
