Why Cloud Cost Forecasting MattersCost is one of the important factor in cloud adoption

Why cost forecasting (prior to adoption & after adoption)?• Better understand the cost elements in cloud spend• Optimize your deployments• Different purchase options available• Your deployments will grow, avoid bill shock & budget for it

Difficult to predict costs• Growing infrastructure requirements• Complex, tiered pricing structures from cloud providers• Prices keep changing
