Cloud cost hygiene: 10 checks
Cloud cost optimization is mostly about visibility and discipline.
Quick checks
- Delete idle resources
- Rightsize VMs
- Turn on budget alerts
- Review storage tiers and lifecycle rules
- Tag ownership + environment (prod/dev)
- Remove unused IPs/disks
- Commit/reserve where usage is stable
- Reduce log retention where safe
- Review egress patterns
- Make a monthly “cost review” habit
