Most companies don’t audit their cloud costs and the ones that do simply consider it the “cost of doing business” and move on. This is a terrible practice that is being pushed by the cloud vendors. It’s gotten to the point where now cloud advocates are calling AWS and others an “operating system” your business needs to perform and fulfill its vision. My company has given a hard push of lowering costs by 20% across all business lines and auditing our cloud usage has been very very shocking. I am sure as the effects of the pandemic continue, more and more companies are going to realize the same thing.
