The cloud where it delivers tangible benefits, primarily increased flexibility and agility, can also mean added costs. Some of these are expected and other unexpected.
Once, you get past the initial win of getting access to infrastructure as a service rather than ‘investing’ in hardware (the expected costs), you find those unexpected ones. With some simple tips you can avoid those costs, but to apply those tips you need to be available 24/7.
For instance, you or your developers are not working 24×7, then why to keep your development environment on all the time? Further, at time your add resources and forget about them. Automating all such matters can actually help a lot.
