We can analyze cloud costs in three distinct ways: Unblended, Blended, and Amortized. Understanding each is crucial for effective cloud cost management. Unblended Costs: This method shows the usage cost precisely as it is charged on the day of use. It's the most straightforward approach and is widely

Managing cloud resources can be likened to the evolution of home thermostats. Initially, thermostats were basic: set a temperature, then manually turn it on or off to maintain comfort. Similarly, early cloud management involved simple, manual controls. Next came programmable thermostats, allowing for temperature schedules based on time of day
