Case Studies for Cost Optimization
This chapter will be a practical implementation of some of the initiatives that we covered in Optimize foundation chapters, which are Chapters 6, 7, 8, and 9. This chapter requires you to have gone through these chapters to fully understand the concepts that we are going to use here as the basis of our cost optimization initiatives.
The idea is to present two fictional case studies or solutions, and then illustrate the train of thought and the proposal process of cost optimization initiatives that FinOps practitioners should follow when analyzing workloads to be optimized.
We have selected two cases that are very much like real-world scenarios, to cover IaaS and PaaS workloads as well as storage and database services.
Without further ado, let’s get into it. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- IaaS case study – multi-tiered application migrated to the cloud
- PaaS case study – storage, serverless...
