Imagine your cloud infrastructure as a powerful, yet temperamental, monster. 

Cloud has become essential to many business out there since it helps businesses process vast amounts of data and deploy applications.

However, this power can quickly spiral out of control, and costs can skyrocket.

The monster has the potential to deliver valuable insights and drive innovation, but it also has an insatiable appetite for resources. So experience shows that without careful management, it can devour your budget and hinder your strategic goals. That doesn't sound great, does it? 

Many companies are currently wrestling with this monster, often flying blind. Are you one of them?

Many are trying to understand the complex dynamics of cloud costs and may be using tools like their cloud provider's native cost management to control the daily increasing expenses. Even though FinOps is not a buzz word anymore in my opinion, it's still something many companies have never heard of, or are getting started with. The "Crawl, walk and run" approach we discuss since many years ago, became "Pre-crawl, crawl, walk and run". The truth is, a significant number of companies haven't even started the 'pre-crawl' phase. While the FinOps Framework is still developing, many businesses are struggling to understand the basic potential of cloud services. This leads to investments in Reserved Instances (RIs) without a proper grasp of their complexities and whether they truly offer a cost-effective solution for their environment. As a result, they can end up paying more for RIs than for On-Demand resources

So question is, what if there were an easy way to accelerate your team’s decision-making around cloud performance assurance, cost optimization (think AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes), and capacity requirements?

What if you had real-time, actionable insights that you could review or automate, that continuously assured uptime at the lowest cost possible?

Managing performance and costs of cloud computing for growing small and mid-size companies can be challenging. Cloud and platform teams are under pressure to do more with less, all while assuring uptime, driving innovation, and increasing speed of delivery. If this dynamic sounds familiar, then this webinar is for you: "Maximizing efficiency in cloud management with Turbonomic Essentials." 

These are some of the questions that will be answered while you watch the webinar. 

However, our experience shows that it's often difficult to decipher the monster's resource consumption patterns. This leads to:

Unpredictable costs, as the monster's appetite fluctuates wildly. Performance bottlenecks that hinder agility and responsiveness. Many hours of manual management, leaving little time for strategic initiatives. Time that you could use drinking a coffee with your colleagues instead.
