Overview

Continuous Cloud Usage Optimization

Cloud operations and FinOps teams often start with rate optimization, utilizing pricing discounts and reserve capacity purchases to control costs and enhance efficiency in cloud environments. Transitioning to usage optimization is where organizations see the most significant cost reductions. However, this approach requires close collaboration with internal engineering teams in order to align cloud resources with business needs.

Cloud usage optimization is difficult due to fragmented visibility, manual processes, misaligned organizational goals, and the need for timely engineering actions. Stacklet directly addresses these issues by streamlining and automating complex processes, saving you both time and money.

Founded by the core creators of the CNCF’s Cloud Custodian project, Stacklet is an award-winning platform that champions continuous usage optimization and governance to establish and maintain resource efficiency in the cloud.

01. Identify Opportunities.
01. Identify Opportunities.

Begin your cloud cost optimization journey by leveraging the Stacklet Platform’s real-time insights into cost-saving opportunities. The solution creates an up-to-date asset inventory of your cloud resources. You can use Stacklet’s best practice policies or implement your own to uncover new opportunities for improvement. As your cloud infrastructure evolves, Stacklet dynamically updates these policies based on actions taken by development teams and emerging insights. Additionally, Stacklet is enhancing its capabilities through integration with third-party tools for deeper insights into anomalies and potential cost risks, like budget overruns.

02. Prioritize actions.

“Governance as Code helps establish standardized code that is consistent and easy to use for developing cost savings, compliance, and security policies. Before we had teams and individuals using an assortment of code, including Bash and Python. They would deploy  using VMs and other serverless computing services, which created issues in troubleshooting, updating, and locating the different policy scripts.”
