Cloud cost review
A web checklist for cost transparency, ownership, budgets and recurring optimization.
Transparency
- Attribute costs to services, projects and environments
- Assign owners and cost centres to material resources
- Expose untagged or unexplained costs
Budgets
- Define budgets and alert thresholds
- Explain monthly variances
- Refresh forecasts and commitments regularly
Optimization
- Identify unused resources
- Review sizing, storage tiers and schedules
- Apply savings only after risk and performance review
Governance
- Document cost changes with an audit trail
- Report AI and infrastructure costs separately
- Do not derive contractual customer prices from operating costs
