Cloud cost savings depend on application design

Enterprises continue to choose the cloud for many of their workloads to improve scalability and lower costs. Once in the cloud, however, many enterprise operators are surprised by additional costs or find that savings are lower than expected.

These cost overruns are primarily driven by how cloud-based applications scale, increasing resource consumption to meet higher demand. At the same time, applications that are not designed for dynamic scaling may be unable to relinquish resources during periods of low demand, leading to unnecessary and significant cloud costs.
