AWS Lambda is an event-driven compute service, which means it executes tasks automatically when triggered by a compute event. This automation also means that your Lambda costs can quickly exceed your budget. That is especially true when you’re not familiar with AWS Lambda pricing. In this guide, we’ll discuss the AWS Lambda pricing model, including how billing works and how to optimize Lambda costs.

FP&A tools can help your business assess, plan, and budget business activities effectively. The tools automate much of the work involved, help you tell where you could be losing money, and reveal additional revenue streams you can capitalize on. At a time when SaaS competition is at an all-time high, you need all the advantages at your disposal to deliver the most value at the least cost. This can help you improve your margins, attract more investors, and generate enough profits to fund your growth.

Looking to optimize your Kubernetes architecture? While the word “Kubernetes” translates to “helmsman” (i.e., someone who steers a ship), Kubernetes ultimately functions more like an orchestra conductor than a ship captain. Kubernetes (also known as K8s) simplifies the orchestrating containers for engineers. This frees engineering up to focus on innovation, reduce time to market, and optimize cloud spend.

Kubernetes is one of the most significant advances in cloud computing since the public cloud. It provides an open-source, highly scalable, and cloud-native platform for orchestrating containerized applications. More organizations now use Kubernetes to deploy, network, scale, and manage containers at scale. In addition, the Kubernetes architecture empowers them to deploy containerized applications swiftly across various platforms, support distributed systems, and scale operations to meet demands quickly.

In June 2024, Amazon hit an astounding $2 trillion valuation, joining the elite ranks of companies like Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. This growth was largely driven by the success of its cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which holds one-third of the global cloud market share. That equals the combined market share of Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud! But who are AWS’s biggest contributors to this success?

We see it often. Too many companies struggle to optimize their cloud costs — whichever platform they use, from Microsoft Azure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). So, in this guide, we are sharing over 20 Azure cost optimization best practices you can apply right away — all in a calorie-free, snackable guide you can read in less than a coffee break.

In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) pioneered cloud computing as we know it today. With about 34% of the market share, Amazon Web Services remains the largest cloud infrastructure provider today, followed by Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). AWS is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). That means AWS builds, maintains, and continually improves multiple data centers worldwide and then rents the computing infrastructure to other companies over the Internet as needed.

If your gross margin is lower than 60-90%, you have a weaker SaaS margin than you’d want. This margin can turn away investors, limiting the amount of capital you can raise to fund growth. Here’s the deal. It may not be a revenue issue. It may be that you are not monitoring the right SaaS metrics. The result: you are probably spending too much. You are probably also unaware of whether this reflects growth or simply overspending, thus ruining your budget and ROI.

With CloudZero you get insights about your applications and systems, helping you manage operations at a scale that you’ve never had before. Our platform provides you with insights about every piece of your system, including the real cost of resources, resource utilization, reserved capacity and cost center efficiency.
With the accurate and trusted data provided by CloudZero you can minimize or eliminate under utilized resources, visualize costs for easy comprehension and oversee the entire software lifecycle. Nothing is out of view when using CloudZero’s Observability platform. From regional views to individual resources, you have insights at every level to help you keep your systems running smoothly.
How do we do it?
- Collect and Normalize: CloudZero’s platform starts by collecting the data from your CloudWatch, CloudTrail, VPC Flowlogs, Lambda Data Events and Billing Data from every AWS account you connect. This part of the platform is isolated in its own account for security and has read-only access to the accounts you connect.
- Populate the Stream: All of the data collected is normalized and the events, resources, statistics and billing data are organized into data streams which allow our platform to perform real-time analytics on all the data collected.
- Find Meaning: Our algorithms take in the normalized data and perform complex analytics sifting through all the data to filter noise and enhance signal. We use Machine Learning on a large scale to learn what is valuable to surface.
- Visualize Everything: The application provides opinionated visualizations of the insights determined by the platform’s AI. From regional system maps to single resources to cost of service broken down by team, CloudZero’s platform provides true observability to everyone in your organization.
Observability for Everyone. Add cost as a first-class metric and understand the financial effect of operational decisions.
