It’s always “Where’s our cloud budget?”
never “How’s our cloud budget?”

I just want to be optimized 💔

At its best, San Francisco is the most beautiful city in the world and it’s not even close.

Happy Labor Day to everyone except your idle cloud resources. Those freeloaders never take a day off.

@danellisona how else am I gonna connect with other foggy professionals??

@PShahasane Hey founders!

what’s currently eating your cloud bill the fastest?

A) GPU / inference spikes
B) Idle non-prod environments that never sleep
C) Egress + data transfer surprises
D) “We just left it running” classic

Asking for a friend (me).

Not a cloud in the sky this Friday...
except the ones quietly stacking charges while everyone else enjoys the long weekend
Clear skies are nice. Clearing out idle resources is nicer.
...Just saying ☁️

@Filecoin Egress fees thicker than a July fog bank over the Golden Gate. Idle GPUs just sitting there like me on a rare sunny SF day—expensive and useless. Zero-egress sounds almost too good for the marine layer.

@devtocash $412 data-transfer surprise is such a classic. Cost Explorer + CloudTrail is the right starting point. Once you know the source, free tools like Pump can lock in better pricing going forward without the manual work

[Karl The Cloud ☁ @KarlTheCloud]

@AllenMutum So true. Storage + snapshots + Multi-AZ + transfer is where the RDS bill lives. Most people only look at the instance line. If the AWS bill is still climbing, Pump does free automated savings on the commitment side — worth a look when you’re tired of the surprises.
