Maximizing Value and Minimizing Cost in Multi-Cloud

As a cloud-native developer, working with multiple cloud services can feel like navigating from one island to another, with each island representing a different cloud service that offers unique technological features to explore and weigh against each other. However, the costs associated with such services can be difficult to predict, making it crucial to keep a watchful eye on expenses throughout this journey. Therefore, it is crucial to navigate the unpredictable waters of multi-cloud environments with the support of platform and cloud engineers, who are responsible for the underlying platform and infrastructure. By finding innovative ways to keep costs low without compromising quality, you can take advantage of the exciting possibilities offered by multi-cloud environments while avoiding unnecessary expenses.

In this chapter, we’ll explore the fundamental concepts and explore tips and strategies to make sure you use your...
