Manage complexity and drive continuous cost optimization
Market studies show that, in 2021, 78% of companies operate their infrastructure in hybrid models. Nearly 1/5 of the companies in the study said they operate on purely public cloud models. In another study, published by the FinOps Foundation, half of companies start their journey with AWS and some kind of OnPrems or private cloud infrastructure.
However, as they acquire management maturity – both in infrastructure and in the development and support of applications – the greater is the adoption of new technologies and clouds such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Consequently, greater are the gains with automation and reduced expenses.
According to Gartner, technology costs will increase by almost 9% in 2021, moving from a strategy to react to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, to prepare for the resumption of growth. Cloud infrastructure expenses are expected to exceed software expenses in 2021.
The widest range of optimization practices and methods
Among the challenges for managing cloud spending, the most common are visibility into architecture and costs across platforms; the lack of tools that provide a unified overview of contracts, expenses, services, inventory and automation; and the difficulty in enabling teams to provide greater flexibility in publishing applications and applying optimization routines.
The vast majority of companies invest little or nothing in automation to control cloud spending. Among those that do, they are limited to alerts, recommendations and simple tagging routines. Only 12% actually have robust planning for savings, optimization and automation of infrastructure and applications.
Good planning includes contract management; real-time cost analysis; operational automations such as Rightsizing, Power Scheduling, Reservations, Auto Scaling, etc.; ability to migrate workloads between clouds; analysis of spending on interconnection of regions, IPs and other network items or even unused storage.
Still essential for good planning are the management of software assets, such as monitoring application usage or unified management of BYOL; management of invoices, from payment to apportionment between areas; inventory and management of all hardware and software items; spot instance evaluation and adoption policies; compliance and security policies.
