Cloud Costs Panel "Lots of Reward Points"
summary
Panelists describe concrete tactics: using Harness Continuous Efficiency alongside BigQuery/Data Studio, Cloudability and CloudHealth for hybrid visibility; enforcing autoscaling, TTLs and schedules to shut off nonproduction workloads; applying namespace/label taxonomies and right-sizing recommendations to cut waste; configuring 50%/75% budget alerts and service limits for proactive finance conversations. Expect surprises like many orphaned environments and a reported five-minute average container lifespan that drives continual churn and the need for automated cleanup and cost ownership.
