Cloud Cost Allocation: How to get a clear picture of your cloud costs

Before optimizing any costs, you need to understand your cloud bill and its underlying cost drivers.

Cost allocation — the splitting up of your cloud bill and mapping costs to each cost center — is the first step to making intelligent optimization decisions.

Because after connecting your costs to their associated cost centers, you will:

1. Enable engineers to see the impact of their actions on the cloud bill, making them more accountable
2. Know which area of the business was responsible for a cost spike or reduction
3. Optimize intelligently with business context around your costs

In this session, we go over how to set yourself up for cost allocation success and how to map costs to your business in the DoiT Console.
