Rent server space on someone else’s hardware Total Cloud Spend (in billions) 6 2016 2020 Total Spend $219.6 $411.4 Advertising $90.3 $151.1 SaaS $48.2 $99.7 BPaaS $39.6 $53.6 IaaS $25.4 $72.4 PaaS $9.0 $20.8 Management & Security $7.1 $13.9

- 7. 11/10/17 5 What is “cloud waste”? 9 Forms of Cloud Waste 10 ● Non-production resources running when not in use ○ 44% of workloads are classified as non-production (test, development, staging, QA) and don’t need to run 24x7 ● Orphaned storage volumes and old snapshots ○ 7% of cloud spend is on unused storage ● Oversized resources ○ 55% of all public cloud resources are not correctly sized for their workloads ● Duplicate and EOL resources ○ 15% of cloud spend is resources which are no longer used

- 9. 11/10/17 7 Common DevOps Tenants 13 ● Holistic thinking ● Eliminate silos ● Feedback ● Automation Holistic Thinking 14 ● Think about the entire business, not just your team ● Utilize a variety of approaches to a problem ● Balance long-term and short-term goals ● Use all tools at your disposal
- 10. 11/10/17 8 Eliminate Silos 15 ● Access is not limited to one person ● Involve multiple team members for a variety in perspectives ● Make knowledge accessible to all ● Ensure that your task is not making someone else’s task harder Feedback 16 ● Monitoring and alerting is critical ● Test-driven development ● Errors should be descriptive enough to be actionable ● Open team communication
- 11. 11/10/17 9 Automation 17 ● Not just scripting ● Eliminate human error ● “Tagging is life” ● Break down larger tasks into smaller automated pieces How DevOps processes can reduce cloud waste 18
- 12. 11/10/17 10 High-level Goals 19 ● Think and act for the business, not your department ● Involve everyone in cost optimization measures ● Keep visibility high ● Automate cost savings ● Department-based reporting DevOps + Cloud = Reduced Waste 20 ● Holistic Thinking ○ Cross-department use of resources ○ Consider PaaS or SaaS instead of IaaS ● Eliminate Silos ○ Make cost reports available to all ○ Reuse resources when appropriate ● Feedback ○ Report on current spending ○ Alert when costs exceed expectations ● Automation ○ Automate right-sizing ○ Scheduled shutdown of unused resources
- 13. 11/10/17 11 Utilizing Continuous Cost Control 21 CI/CD -> CCC 22 ● Minor tweaks to your automated services can save money ● Costs should be a controlled factor, not a result ● Regularly revisit past decisions and outputs ● Sustainability is important for continuous delivery
- 14. 11/10/17 12 What this looks like in an Enterprise ● Code ○ Shut down instances when not working on them ● Build ○ Automated tools for minimal footprint ● Test ○ Use spot instances for optimal costs ● Deploy ○ Use Reserved Instances for lower price ● Operate ○ Auto Scaling Groups for elasticity ● Monitor ○ Track utilization to ensure proper instance sizes 23 Thank you!
