Intro The cloud offers unlimited scalability at lower costs with the available resources. Companies enable their engineering teams to launch infrastructure as and when needed. However, since costs aren’t shown to engineers before Cloud resources are deployed, the real cost implications are unknown. That causes higher than expected costs and ballooning budgets over time, which …
