Build a register of the risks attaching to cloud cost optimisation and keep it current.
Building Cloud Computing Cost Management and Optimisation Systems
A practical programme in cloud cost optimisation for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Security and delivery speed are traded against each other in cloud cost optimisation whether or not anyone says so. Technical debt in the wider technology and systems delivery agenda is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the technology and systems delivery capability hard in practice. The programme converts cloud cost optimisation from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The content is relevant to those who own this area of technology and systems delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants finish able to explain this strand of technology and systems delivery to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better cloud cost optimisation is rarely technical. A common pattern is strong design of the wider technology and systems delivery agenda paired with weak follow-through. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of technology and systems delivery that would make a visible difference.
