Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses operate, offering unparalleled flexibility and scalability. However, managing cloud costs efficiently remains a constant challenge, particularly as developers play a pivotal role in determining expenses. While existing visibility tools cater to DevOps teams and FinOps, they often fall short in addressing the issue of underutilized or unused resources, which can account for a significant portion of cloud costs. Today, we are thrilled to introduce our Cost Control Dashboard within the Ops Console, specifically designed to empower developers and enable them to take control of cloud costs with one-click workflows.
Cloud Costs and the Developer's Role
Cloud costs are heavily dependent on developers and their resource utilization decisions. Their actions directly impact the financial health of organizations. Despite this critical role, most existing tools focus on providing high-level visibility to DevOps teams and FinOps, leaving the challenge of optimizing underutilized or unused resources unaddressed. Without the involvement of development teams and consideration of application-specific needs, unnecessary costs add up accounting for a substantial 10-30% of overall cloud expenses.
