In this presentation, we will examine the evolving landscape of observability costs as organizations transition from on-premises to cloud environments. The complexity of cloud-native systems and the exponential growth of telemetry data have driven observability expenses to unprecedented levels, often accounting for 15% to 30% of overall infrastructure spending. Organizations now face significant challenges in managing escalating bills, decoding/estimating complex pricing models, and mitigating data overage charges. As cloud costs continue to rise, it is crucial to control observability spending without compromising the value it brings to business monitoring and availability. This session will explore strategies, techniques, and processes for effectively managing observability costs, enabling businesses to maintain critical insights while optimizing their investments.
