Azure Cost Optimization is one of the key factors to achieving a solid return on investment using the cloud. The more we use the resources, the more we have to pay increasing the Azure spend. But it is more important to keep an eye on the amount spent on the resources. Azure Cost Optimization is crucial for organizations leveraging Microsoft Azure to ensure they are using cloud resources efficiently, avoiding unnecessary expenses, and maximizing the value of their investment.

Organizations need highly scalable compute capacity in the cloud to handle fluctuating workloads. This ensures they can meet peak demand without over-provisioning resources or incurring unnecessary costs during low activity periods. Amazon EC2 offers one of the most flexible, on-demand infrastructures that can be scaled to meet business needs. Yet, it isn’t suitable for everyone. In this guide, we’ll explore why that is and share the best EC2 alternatives to consider. But first, a quick recap.

In today’s complex environments such as cloud-native technologies, containers, and microservices-based architectures, reliable log monitoring is crucial for keeping your systems secure and resilient. Continuous monitoring enables organizations to stay in-control, providing proactive insights into system health and performance.
