May 9, 2023 By Archana Kesavan, Jen Villa In Grafana

You’ve convinced your organization that cloud native is the way forward. You’ve championed Kubernetes and sworn by Prometheus. You’ve onboarded multiple teams to your centralized observability platform. Then you open your latest bill and see a lot of commas in your invoice, and a sinking feeling sets in. Sound familiar? We’re keenly aware of the pain this can bring. As metric cardinality grows in cloud native environments, so does the cost to store and retrieve the data.

4 Low-Effort Tactics That Saved CloudZero Over $2M In 2023

May 9, 2023 By Dustin Lowman In CloudZero
Whether or not you take the oft-quoted statistic that 30% of companies’ cloud spend as gospel, one thing is for sure: Companies have been spending recklessly in the cloud ever since its inception. For (fairly) good reason — companies wanted to perfect their products and snatch up market share before an even more reckless spender did. But the chickens of overindulgence are finally coming home to roost.

Cloud Cost Management Demo

May 4, 2023 By Datadog In Datadog
Growing cloud costs are a new constraint and challenge for many DevOps, FinOps, and Cloud Platform teams. Cloud Cost Management delivers granular cost data, scoped to the services developers own, so that engineers can take action on cost data. By unifying cost and observability data, engineering teams can quickly understand the root cause of cost changes, identify wasteful spend in their environment, and empower everyone across their organization to become a cost owner.

Why Unit Economics Are The Key To Unlocking Forecasting

May 1, 2023 By CloudZero In CloudZero
In SaaS companies, engineers are the biggest influencers to cloud costs. They choose the infrastructure, build the products, and produce the code. Unfortunately, having this power means engineering managers are often asked to predict cloud spend months or even years into the future.

Apr 25, 2023 By Erik Peterson In CloudZero
It’s cloud earnings week this week for AWS, GCP, and Azure, and I have already heard the pundits warming up the hot takes. Some are even asking if this could be the end of the cloud. My advice to you: Don’t be that person unless you enjoy being horribly wrong. No, I'm not saying that when AWS, Azure, and GCP report their growth that it's going to be anything different than what we expect.

The Simple Guide To The History Of The Cloud

Apr 21, 2023 By CloudZero In CloudZero
The first person to coin the term “Artificial Intelligence” predicted that someday people would buy software as a utility. The year was 1961 and that person was Professor John McCarthy, a computer scientist at Stanford University. After Salesforce began selling software programs this way in the late-1990s, the good professor witnessed his prophecy come true for over 12 years before his passing in 2011. Yet this is only one aspect of computing in the cloud as we know it today.
