Cloud cost management can be challenging, especially with complex AWS bills, but understanding and controlling these costs is crucial for effective infrastructure management. The CloudTwin, a deterministic mathematical model, offers real-time simulations of cloud environments, providing a comprehensive view of cloud configurations and their financial impacts. This approach allows users to answer difficult questions about AWS costs, such as the expenses related to auto-scaling groups and network traffic, which are often missed by existing solutions. By gaining a complete understanding of the resources and configurations affecting cloud costs, organizations can start optimizing their cloud infrastructure and implementing best practices. Additionally, four practical use cases for AWS cost management include analyzing costs associated with specific resource tags, reviewing cost trends and configuration changes, applying cost optimization rules, and reporting unused resources and unexpected cost upticks.
