Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to define your cost constraints, split your logical cloud costs, and match the subscription hierarchy with how you want to charge those costs, by leveraging useful tools such as management groups, policies, tagging, and automation. The key takeaway is that you need to consider all cloud costs as fluid and try as much as possible to aim for scalable costs that can be matched, where possible, to the smallest billing increment possible for usage of the specific resources.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to monitor your costs progressively and continuously, which is the next logical step for defining the full cost governance process.
