AWS Direct Connect Pricing: A Complete Guide

Apr 2, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
AWS Direct Connect pricing looks simple until you’re staring at an unexpected bill. Understanding how AWS Direct Connect costs work, such as port hours, data transfer, and the charges that don’t appear on the AWS pricing page, is the first step to managing them. The model has no setup charges and no minimums, but it has enough moving parts that costs can compound quickly if you’re not watching closely.

How Finance Leaders Can Use AI To Stay On Top Of Cloud Costs

Apr 2, 2026 By Larry Advey In CloudZero
There’s always been a bit of a communication breakdown between finance and engineering when it comes to cloud costs. Cloud costs are driven by technical factors expressed in esoteric terms, and so speaking the language of finance does not guarantee that you’ll speak the language of cloud cost. But AI is changing that. Fast. With the right AI tools, finance leaders can now ask natural-language questions about their cost data and get fast, accurate answers.

Your Most Expensive Kubernetes Costs Have Been Hiding In The Wrong Bucket

Apr 2, 2026 By Thomas Evans In CloudZero
If your organization is running AI or machine learning workloads on Kubernetes, the bill is real. GPU instances are among the most expensive resources in cloud infrastructure, where a single high-end node can run $30 to $40 per hour, and a multi-day training job on a cluster can cost tens of thousands before anyone looks up from their terminal. What most engineering and FinOps teams haven’t been able to do (until now) is connect that spend to the workloads that caused it.

What is an EngOps platform? Key Features, Benefits, and Use Cases

Apr 2, 2026 By Cortex In Cortex
Though AI tools have made individual developers dramatically more productive at writing code, most engineering organizations report moving only about 20% faster than before. As Honeycomb CTO Charity Majors recently wrote, "AI came for code generation first because it was the easiest problem to solve, but it was never the thing holding developers back.".

How to deploy PostgresSQL on Kubernetes

Apr 2, 2026 By Theo Despoudis In Sumo Logic
Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, abstracting many of the manual steps of rolling upgrades and scaling. When building cloud-native applications in a Kubernetes environment, you’ll often need to deploy database applications like a PostgreSQL database so that your applications can leverage their features within the cluster.

Bridging the Gap: Keeping On-Premises SQL Server Competitive in a Cloud-First World

Apr 1, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart
Short Summary: Many companies evaluate cloud platforms when they reach scalability limits on existing infrastructure, with migration decisions typically driven by a broader mix of factors: cost optimization, availability, security, and access to managed services. However, despite this shift, a lot of teams still run SQL Server on their own servers. Keeping these systems running well requires good monitoring, performance tuning, and regular maintenance.

Free vs Commercial ORM Tools: Best Picks Compared

Apr 1, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart
When you’re building.NET applications, the choice between free ORM tools and commercial ones can make or break your project’s future. It’s not about one side winning, both have standout strengths. Free tools like Entity Framework Core or Dapper offer flexibility without the price tag. However, as projects grow, teams need commercial tools to deal with larger schemas, more complex mappings, and multiple developers working on the same data layer.

Cost Optimization vs. Value Optimization: Shifting the Mindset

Apr 1, 2026 By Turbo360 In Turbo360
In this session, we explore how organizations can move beyond basic cloud cost reporting to truly understand the business value of their IT investments. Using the T2Bv (Technology-to-Business Value) meta-framework alongside FinOps practices, we explain how to connect IT resources, including Azure environments, to measurable business outcomes.

Your Cloud Architecture Has a Personality - Mastering Cloud Cost Profiles & FinOps

Apr 1, 2026 By Turbo360 In Turbo360
Most teams treat cloud cost like something to clean up later. In reality, it is already baked into how your system behaves. Every workload has a personality. Some spike with concurrency. Some quietly run all day and never shut off. Some look efficient until scale hits and then costs accelerate. And some charge you every time they run, every query, every scan, every execution. This episode is about recognizing those patterns early. Once you understand how your architecture behaves under load and over time, you stop reacting to cost and start shaping it.
