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.
