If you’ve been operating in the cloud for some time now, chances are your business has changed since you first made that move. Has your cloud usage grown considerably—and your OpEx costs?

Launching a production app onto the cloud is a big task with a ton of tiny sub-tasks, and it can all be pretty overwhelming. We're here for you.
