The Cloud Bill Isn’t Just for IT

For many managers, the cloud bill is a document they would rather pass on to someone else. Dozens of pages, hundreds of items with technical names, and a total that changes every month. It is tempting to treat it like an electricity bill: I do not understand it, but it needs to be paid. That is a mistake that costs money. A cloud bill is not simply a utility bill for your infrastructure. It reflects the decisions your teams make. And you do not need a technical background to understand it well enough to ask the right questions.
