Ever wondered how to design a cost-effective cloud network? Buckle up as the Cables2Clouds team, along with the ever-insightful William Collins, shed light on the labyrinth of cloud pricing. We'll dissect the costs associated with data, requests, and additional resources, providing you with tools to anticipate and contain expenses. More than just cost, we delve into the resources your applications are using and the implications of scaling. Our aim? To save your budget, while ensuring smooth sailing for production applications.

Keeping tabs on cloud costs, especially for larger businesses adopting the cloud, can often feel like acing a mind-boggling puzzle. Don't worry, we’ve got you covered. Alongside our guest, we tackle the challenges of being cost-conscious in network design, and explore the necessity of understanding how applications communicate to optimize costs. We discuss the pros and cons of various models and delve into the emerging automation tools and cost calculators that can help you become more cost aware. With over-engineering in cloud networking design being such an easy thing to do – is it really necessary, or just an expensive habit?

Venture with us as we explore the differences between how the different CSP's handle high availability and disaster recovery, and the associated cost implications. We’ll also take a look at the ever-changing landscape of compliance requirements in cloud networking. Spoiler alert: these can significantly bump up costs. Arm yourself with insights about understanding cloud documentation and communicating requirements and solutions to your business. Join us for an enlightening, no-nonsense discussion on cost optimization in cloud network design
