Our Journey Towards Cloud Efficiency
- akh 6y agoPretty cool to see companies create new teams focused on cloud efficiency, seems like they're going beyond using traditional cloud cost management tools by trying to create a culture of cost awareness in their eng teams. We're trying to do a similar thing by putting a comment in PRs (e.g. for Terraform repos) to say how much the cost of the change will be before it goes live (we're open source https://github.com/infracost/infracost https://github.com/infracost/infracost). Always interested in hearing what people think about this approach.

- vladsanchez 6y agoTerraform-based is the smartest approach. Not surprised someone tackled it, but I never knew this was under development while I kept telling our IT manager about the opportunity for cloud cost management/optimization tools. You have a new adopter and possible client. Wish you the most success!
- domano 6y agoI really like to optimize for efficiency, but from an economical standpoint this inly makes sense for really big orgs due to engineering costs being higher. In the long run i think this defeats all potential ecological benefits of cloud computing.
