The cloud is almost like a utility for many companies. With Elon Musk's X announcing a $10B partnership with Oracle for cloud services and other big investments from the top tech companies, the rush is on to own the cloud we all live upon. We all need to be careful with our spending. I've seen companies running old apps on VMs, Citrix, and remote desktops just to keep them alive. It's costing a bomb 💣. Fixing a bug became a 3-month saga rather than an automated push. It pays to be smart with your cloud spend. In this video, Bryden O. from SSW TV shares practical tips and tricks to help you reduce your Azure costs. From analysing your spending patterns to optimising resource usage, these insights can make a significant difference.

Managing the monthly spend on cloud resources (e.g. Azure) is hard. It gets harder for the Spend Master (e.g. SysAdmins) when developers add services without sending an email to aid in reconciliation. Azure has a nice tool for managing its own costs, called the Cost Analysis. You can break down costs per resource group, resource type and many other aspects in Azure. Heres a video from Warwick Leahy from SSW with tips on how to control spending on the cloud. https://lnkd.in/ggpawZpv

One of the opportunities of public cloud is to provide solutions to previously unfeasible challenges. This often manifests as a roadmap to modernise architectures, platforms and applications to make them future-ready and aligned to modern needs. At Version 1 we've long been focussed on application development and modernisation using cloud technologies, with a long list of examples where we continue to help organisations meet this challenge https://lnkd.in/eQcrUaVh More recently, Version 1 has built a vision where GenAI can be used to analyse, understand and automatically document legacy systems, thus de-risking the modernisation process. We've developed a tool "Decipher" that is being used across sectors, opening up broader scope for modernisation of legacy platforms- even where skills and knowledge are no longer available within the organisation. To learn more about how Decipher is being used to modernise COBOL applications in Financial Services go to this page: https://lnkd.in/eE9bywEx   To learn more about Decipher in general, you can watch back the webinar recording with John Bolger and Andrea Bureca here: https://lnkd.in/e8csPeqg #GenAI #AppModernisation #cloudnative #innovation
