Cloud, Analytics, Cost Optimization, DatabaseAbstract
In this paper, we look at how to save money on cloud databases using utilization data. Through the analysis of telemetry, the engine can find areas where resources are being wasted and improves efficiency by right servers, scaling when needed, and setting up storage tiers. Using dashboards and automation, real savings in operation costs are shown, allowing businesses to make sustainable changes in cloud operations.
