Key learnings from the State of Cloud Costs study

The recent State of Cloud Costs report by Datadog highlights key factors shaping cloud costs for hundreds of organizations that use its Cloud Cost Management tool to monitor AWS spend. These factors include resource utilization, adoption of emerging technologies, and participation in commitment-based discount programs. To optimize their cloud environments, users can identify wasted container spend, migrate away from legacy AWS services, manage cross-AZ data transfer costs, and lower costs through commitment-based discounts. Datadog's Cloud Cost Management tool provides detailed guidance on how to implement these best practices and offers ongoing visibility into resource utilization and cost efficiency.
