Five Ways to Keep Your Cloud Costs Under Control

The cloud makes it easy to launch resources — and just as easy to forget them. Regular reviews are the foundation of cost control.

Right-size servers based on real usage, schedule non-production environments to switch off overnight, and use reserved or savings plans for steady workloads.

Tag every resource with an owner and project so costs are visible to the people who create them.

Finally, set budget alerts. A simple notification when spending exceeds expectations prevents surprises at the end of the month.
