CLOUD COST MANAGEMENT

Cress Tech’s cloud cost optimization services are designed to help organizations achieve significant cost savings on their cloud infrastructure while maintaining or even enhancing performance and functionality. Our cloud cost optimization approach involves analyzing your infrastructure, identifying areas of inefficiency or waste, and implementing cost-saving strategies such as rightsizing, reserved instances, and spot instances. We can help you make the most of your cloud investment and achieve long-term cost savings and business benefits.

How to waste money on infrastructure

As businesses grow, they often end up paying too much for cloud infrastructure they don’t need or use. Common mistakes include overprovisioning resources, not optimizing workloads, and failing to take advantage of cost-saving measures offered by cloud providers. At Cress Tech, we help businesses avoid these costly mistakes and achieve significant cost savings through cloud cost optimization and efficient infrastructure management.

Waste 1: Not tagging your resources or monitoring your spending

When you don’t tag your resources or monitor your spending, you have no visibility into your infrastructure costs and usage patterns. This can lead to wasted spending on underutilized resources, unexpected charges, and difficulty in identifying cost-saving opportunities. With Cress Tech help, you can optimize your infrastructure costs and achieve significant cost savings

Waste 2: On-demand instances – save with spot instances

On-demand instances can be costly for long-term workloads. However, utilizing spot instances can significantly reduce costs without sacrificing performance. However, by using spot instances, businesses can save up to 90% of the cost of on-demand instances while still ensuring high availability and reliability of their applications. At Cress Tech, we can help you identify the right balance between on-demand and spot instances, resulting in optimized infrastructure costs

Waste 3: Fixed number of instances – save with auto scaling

Deploying a fixed number of instances to handle your application’s workload can lead to significant overprovisioning of resources, resulting in wasted infrastructure costs. Instead, consider implementing auto scaling, which dynamically adjusts the number of instances based on application demand.

At Cress Tech, we help our clients implement auto-scaling strategies and optimize their infrastructure for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Waste 4: Single-use computers – save with containers on clusters

When running single-use applications on individual virtual machines, you are not only wasting computing resources but also incurring unnecessary costs. With containerization, you can package and deploy applications on clusters, optimizing resource utilization, and reducing infrastructure costs. Cress Tech’s DevOps and Cloud Consulting services can help you implement and manage container-based infrastructure for your organization’s applications.
