Control Cost with TFE / TFC

Challenge

With the continuous shift to consumption-based cost models for infrastructure and operations; i.e. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), you pay for what you use but you also pay for what you provision and don’t use. If you do not have a process for continuous governance and optimization, then there is a huge potential for waste.

A recent cloud spending survey found that:

45% of the organizations reporting were over budget for their cloud spending. More than 55% of the respondents are using either cumbersome manual processes, or simply do not implement actions and changes to optimize their cloud resources. 34.15% of respondents believe they can save up to 25% of their cloud spend and 14.51% believe they can save up to 50%. Even worse, 27.46% said, “I don’t know”.

Solution

With Terraform Cloud for Business, you can:

Increase productivity and reduce risk with a consistent approach to multi-cloud provisioning View the estimated monthly costs of infrastructure within a workspace following the Terraform plan but before the Sentinel policy checks and Terraform apply. Codify policies that enforce security, compliance, and operational best practices across all cloud provisioning. Track all provisioning of infrastructure with audit logs that can be pulled into the Splunk Cloud Platform with the official Terraform Cloud for Splunk app.
