In today’s cloud landscape, each service has its own pricing model. These models are often complex, deeply technical, and highly variable based on usage. The most cost-effective architecture for one workload may be wildly inefficient for another. That means cost optimization isn’t just about picking the right instance size, it’s about understanding how each service charges, when certain configurations make sense, and why specific decisions lead to waste.
To do this well, teams need more than generic best practices. They need a structured, vendor-neutral way to assess risk, spot inefficiencies, and improve their cloud efficiency posture over time. We call this Cloud Efficiency Posture Management, and the first step is knowing what to look for.
The hub brings together insights from practitioners around the world to create a single, unified view of what waste looks like across IaaS, PaaS, and third-party services. Every inefficiency is clearly defined, with guidance on how to detect it and recommendations for addressing it, all grounded in real-world experience.
This is an open, evolving resource. If you have something to contribute, we’d love to hear from you.If you want to learn, explore, and apply it, we’re glad it’s helping.
The Cloud Efficincy Hub is powered by PointFive, and built for the entire cloud community.
