Page 10: Iaas Pricing Models

Best Practice #1: Gather Data

• Extract data from your monitoring tools• Ability to sort and filter on the data• Filter on time, 95th percentiles• You need analysis of the data

Page 11: Iaas Pricing Models

Best Practice #1: Look Everywhere

• Don’t assume one vendor has the lowest cost• Evaluate public cloud, private clouds, multi-cloud• Evaluate your current performance issues• Cost will differ for the same type of IaaS service

Page 12: Iaas Pricing Models

Best Practice #1: Benchmarking

• Have a solid performance baseline• Use to check against when choosing a vendor• Performance in the cloud is tied to pricing• Benchmarks help when making changes
