Why Cloud Cost Forecasting MattersCost is one of the important factor in cloud adoption
Why cost forecasting (prior to adoption & after adoption)?• Better understand the cost elements in cloud spend• Optimize your deployments• Different purchase options available• Your deployments will grow, avoid bill shock & budget for it
Difficult to predict costs• Growing infrastructure requirements• Complex, tiered pricing structures from cloud providers• Prices keep changing

• Where am I exposed?• How are things configured?
Visibility:
• How does that monthly cost break down?• What are these resources being used for?
