AI Cost Management: How To Track, Allocate And Optimize AI Spend

AI cost management is the practice of tracking, allocating, and optimizing the cloud infrastructure costs tied to building, running, and scaling AI workloads.

The "scanner report has to be green" trap

In the modern DevSecOps world, CISOs are constantly looking for signals in the noise, and the outputs of security scanners often carry a lot of weight. A security scan that returns a “zero CVE” report often unlocks promotion to production; a single red flag can block a release. This binary view of security has birthed two diametrically opposed philosophies. On one side, we have the long-term support (LTS) approach: stay on a battle-tested version and backport specific security fixes.
