Key Cloud Cost Challenges
 Underutilized Resources (Idle VMs, overprovisioned 
databases)
 Unoptimized Autoscaling (Inefficient scaling strategies)
 Storage & Network Costs (Unmanaged logs, data 
transfers)
 Licensing & Reserved Instances Mismanagement

Implementing Observability for Cost Control
 Monitoring (Metrics, Logs, Tracing)
 Alerting on Cost Anomalies
 Dashboards for Cost Transparency
 Example Tools: Prometheus, Grafana, AWS Cost 
Explorer
