The $38K Ghost — Why Your Cloud Bill Is Lying to You | PART - 1
Your company spends $3 on cloud.
$1 of that is burning while nobody watches.
Not a metaphor—it's Flexera's 2024 data.
In this episode, we unpack how a "disciplined" CTO's monthly reviews missed $38K/month in idle GPU instances that an AI agent found in 14 minutes.
We break down Agentic FinOps—the shift from spreadsheet autopsies to AI-powered pulse monitors—and share the P.A.C.E. Pilot framework: a free, low-risk way any team can start cutting cloud waste this week.
Real numbers.
Real framework.
No vendor pitch.
Just engineering common sense applied to a problem every company has and most ignore.
Whether you're a CTO watching your runway shrink, a CFO who hates surprises, or a DevOps engineer drowning in cost alerts—this one's for you.
Key Topics: Cloud waste, Agentic FinOps, AI agents, AWS optimisation, the P.A.C.E. framework, continuous monitoring vs. periodic reviews.
Discussed Data: Flexera 2024, Gartner projections, Spot by NetApp, Apptio benchmarks.
