The 2024 State Of Cloud Cost Report is now live! Highlights include: 👉 Engineering ownership equals a better understanding of cloud cost. Data points to a positive correlation between engineering ownership and better business outcomes, like greater confidence in reporting accuracy. 81% of respondents said their cloud costs are “about where they should be” when engineering has some level of ownership. 👉 Job stability concerns tied to cloud costs. 75% of employees said they fear losing their jobs if cloud costs abruptly surge by 50% or more. This unease is heightened among employees at larger companies, with 100% of those at organizations with over 9,000 personnel fearing their positions are vulnerable. 👉 There’s been a shift in cloud cost attribution confidence. In 2022, public companies fared worse than venture-backed or private equity-owned companies when it came to cost attribution. But in 2024, venture-backed companies report having the least confidence in attributing cloud spend (32%). 👉 Nearly nine in 10 respondents say poor cost visibility affects their ability to perform. Not only does low cost visibility cause a lot of disruption, but it also has a big impact on job performance. A whopping 89% of respondents said that lack of cloud cost visibility has an impact on their ability to carry out their role. Just under half report a significant impact, while only 11% said it has no impact at all. The survey is available for viewing here: https://lnkd.in/esnEwbBX #Cloud #FinOps #SaaS

Imagine a house where everything depends on everything else: the blender depends on the TV, the drywall depends on the plumbing, the roof depends on the kitchen cabinets, and if anything fails, the house falls down. That was monolith architecture in software. Cloud technology changed the game, enabling integration, real-time collaboration, and turning multimillion-dollar nightmares into streamlined solutions. #CloudEvolution
