Hi everyone,
As cloud usage scales, cost optimization becomes a crucial factor in managing Google Cloud resources effectively. I wanted to start a discussion on the best strategies for reducing unnecessary expenses while maintaining performance.
Some common practices include:
✅ Rightsizing VM instances to avoid over-provisioning
✅ Using committed use contracts for predictable workloads
✅ Leveraging Cloud Storage lifecycle policies for cost-effective data management
✅ Implementing autoscaling to adjust resources dynamically
✅ Monitoring costs with Cloud Billing reports and alerts
What strategies have worked best for you? Are there any hidden cost-saving features you’ve discovered in Google Cloud? Let’s share insights and help each other optimize costs!
Looking forward to your thoughts! 🚀
