 Hello. In this video, we will see how you can reduce your multi-cloud costs and optimally utilize your infrastructure by using true-side cloud-cost control. For the purpose of this video, let's consider a scenario. Claire, a cloud manager in an IT organization, is responsible for managing the existing multi-cloud environment. She tracks the monthly cloud costs and reviews and analyzes the cost reports to keep the expenses in check. She regularly checks the usage of existing infrastructure elements to determine whether there are any cost-saving opportunities. On reviewing the AWS monthly bill, Claire notices an increase in the total bill amount. She is worried because she knows that they are exceeding the allocated budget. The first step that she would like to take is deep dive into the specific virtual machines that are provisioned on AWS to check whether there are any oversized or unused resources that can be managed better to reduce the monthly bill. Let's take a look at how true-side cloud-cost control can help Claire resolve her current problem. So log on to the true-side console and access cloud-cost control, navigate to the cost optimization page. The resource usage tab provides you with a quick view of the cost-saving opportunities that you have to improve the efficiency of your multi-cloud environment. You can get details about the idle or unused VMs and the VMs with underutilized resources. Claire needs to focus only on the VMs that are provisioned in the AWS cloud. So we can clear the other providers from the global cloud provider filter to show only AWS data. This section provides a quick comparison between the monthly cost of your compute resources and their optimized cost. This optimized cost is calculated based on the total estimated savings that you can achieve by implementing the suggested recommendations. Let's check out the detailed recommendations. The table on the page displays all the idle VMs and their details. Let's take a look at the detailed recommendation for a VM. In this case, the recommendations window provides the exact findings when the recommendation was generated and other details for the idle VM. The recommended action section gives exact identifier of the VM and the attached AWS volume. You can see the breakup of the savings that you can achieve by deleting them. You can click on the online help link for more information about how the recommendation is generated. You can save an offline copy of this page by exporting it to Excel to get details of all the recommendations and use it to perform the actual actions in the AWS portal. Now let's check the overallocated VM section. Here you can see virtual machines with underutilized resources. Similar to the page that we saw for idle VMs, this page provides details of all the overallocated VMs in your infrastructure. Let's check out one recommendation. Now this recommendations window provides the exact findings along with the recommended actions. In this case, the AWS instance has been detected to be underutilizing all the three resources. The recommended action is to resize the virtual machine to a specific instance type that is also recommended along with the VM configuration. By implementing this recommendation, you can save more than $800. This is the accuracy icon that indicates whether the recommendation was generated based on your configured requirements. This is how Claire can use the cost optimization page of TrueSight Cloud Cost Control to identify the idle and overallocated virtual machines to determine the actions to be taken to handle these VMs. Know the estimated savings that can be achieved by following these recommendations and be better equipped to reduce the monthly bill.
