summary
A cloud cost-optimization case study for a real client using public cloud architecture, showing where savings were possible and how much could be reduced. Focus is on the process and anti-patterns — practical examples of what NOT to do when running cloud cost-optimization projects, rather than service-specific technical knobs.
