A cloud migration provides your business with the ability to scale and perform in response to dynamic workload demands. Costs related to computing were historically tied to hardware procurement on a quarterly or annual basis. Since cloud technology uses a 'pay as you use' pricing model, it allows you to initiate services and initialize resources at any time. As a result, cost understanding, management, and optimization have changed.
Managing cloud costs can be complicated because they are often decentralized and shifting, which makes it hard to visualize them. Analyzing cloud consumption, costs, comparisons, and planning can be done with a cloud cost management strategy. A greater understanding of costs and usage will allow a business to improve its cloud technology's performance and efficiency and enforce accountability across the company.

Rightsizing is the process of matching cloud workloads to underlying infrastructure in a way that minimizes waste. Workloads are typically launched with a set of performance assumptions; by looking at the data as it runs, you can see if those assumptions were valid.
We’re launching a new way to look at rightsizing with analytics that provide several actionable options for each resource, with a clear risk profile attached to each option. Rather than a service that gives you a singular blind recommendation, we offer transparency across multiple options that you can validate before taking the next step.

In a multi-cloud environment, enterprises face the following challenges when managing cloud costs:
The lack of visibility of cloud resource usage poses a major problem for many organizations. The distribution model and the amount of cloud resources used are difficult to determine. The absence of a comprehensive overview of an enterprise's resources makes it nearly impossible to compare key performance metrics or define how the use of these tools influenced cloud resource utilization.
Lack of visibility and unpredictable costs are the two biggest challenges. When you are unaware of the rising cost of cloud-based services, it is difficult to manage monthly expenses.
The cloud poses many challenges for enterprises, causing them to pause before deploying it. The Cost Manager can help you solve these problems.
Enterprises can reduce costs by using Cost Manager, as it simplifies the process in order to gain a better understanding of expenditures and gain a better sense of efficiency.
