Enabling Cloud Innovation Without Breaking the Bank | Harness Resource | Harness

With cloud costs spiraling – nearly a third is wasted, and 50% of engineers spend days tracking down cost anomalies – organizations need a smarter approach to cloud financial management. The challenge? Enabling developer self-service while preventing unnecessary spend.

Join us to explore how modern cloud governance creates a framework for cost-efficient innovation.

We’ll examine:

  • Implementing automated cost controls that work with, not against, developer workflows
  • Using infrastructure as code to streamline provisioning while preventing overprovisioning
  • Detecting and automatically managing idle resources across cloud environments
  • Optimizing commitment, purchasing and usage across your cloud portfolio
  • Establishing effective cost allocation and chargeback models that drive accountability

Learn how leading organizations leverage intelligent automation and policy controls to drastically reduce cloud waste while accelerating development velocity. Horrible “Why is the AWS bill so large?” meetings can be a thing of the past.

For FinOps practitioners, platform engineers, and technology leaders, this session provides actionable strategies for building a more humane and cost-effective cloud practice.

Key Takeaways

Cloud Adoption Drives Skyrocketing Costs and Waste

Global public cloud spending reached nearly $599 billion in 2023. Consequently, 75% of organizations have reported a significant increase in cloud waste.

The Four Pillars of Cloud Cost Management

Effective cloud cost management relies on visibility, allocation, optimization, and budgeting. These pillars help organizations eliminate inefficiencies without sacrificing performance or innovation.

Automating Infrastructure with Code Ensures Consistency

Infrastructure as Code replaces manual server setup with automated blueprints. This approach saves time, reduces human error, and guarantees predictable deployments across multiple environments.

Balancing Developer Freedom with Infrastructure Governance

Organizations must empower developers with self-service tools while maintaining control through policy enforcement. Automated policies can review instance sizes or halt deployments if estimated costs exceed specific limits.

Automated Cloud Governance Drives Massive Savings

Implementing automated cloud governance and auto-stopping features yields substantial financial benefits. For example, Tyler Tech achieved $1.2 million in savings within six months by reorganizing their cloud infrastructure.
