*How to Stop Wasting Budget on Over-Provisioned Cloud Resources
*
Your CTO is questioning why staging workloads are on oversized instances.
Your CFO is asking why compute costs spiked by 18% this quarter.
And suddenly, those seemingly cautious infrastructure decisions aren’t looking so smart.
Cloud teams face this issue daily—trying to innovate quickly while keeping costs in check.
But often, the real culprit isn’t huge spikes in traffic or complex workloads.
It’s over-provisioning.
Over-provisioning sneaks in without being noticed.
It starts small:
A few extra vCPUs “for safety”
Large instances “to prepare for scaling”
A staging environment mirrored after production but left unused
On their own, these decisions seem harmless.
But when spread across environments and services, they quietly inflate your cloud bill.
And by the time the finance team catches on, it’s already too late.
