96% of companies now use or are in the process of evaluating Kubernetes. As the maturity and complexity of Kubernetes environments grow, costs quickly spiral out of control when an effective strategy for visibility and optimization is not in place.
Optimizing Kubernetes costs isn’t an easy task. Kubernetes is as deep a topic as cloud (and even more complex), containing subtopics like: That’s a lot for a busy DevOps team to understand and manage, and doesn’t even consider that line-of-business stakeholders and finance team members should have some understanding of each cost driver’s function and importance to contribute to a successful FinOps Strategy.
As the complexity of Kubernetes environments grow, costs can quickly spiral out of control if an effective strategy for optimization is not in place. We’ve compiled expert recommendations and best practices for running cost-optimized Kubernetes workloads on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud (GCP).
The high volume and high rate of transactions in the adtech market pushes vast amounts of data through the entire ecosystem, 24×7.

Most companies make the move to take advantage of the speed, innovation, and flexibility offered by cloud computing solutions. Operating in the cloud can also provide cost savings and improved productivity.

The speed and scale of online advertising means that adtech companies need to collect, analyze, and act upon immense datasets instantaneously, 24 hours a day.
We are often asked what’s the difference between Anodot and CloudHealth. Since both platforms offer cloud cost management solutions, the differentiation might be unclear. In this article, we’ll quickly clarify what each platform is built for, and why — despite some overlaps in features — these are two fundamentally different creatures.
Last month Gartner published its first ever “Market Guide for AI Offerings in CSP Network Operations,” and we’re excited to share that Anodot has been identified as a Representative Vendor in the report. According to the Gartner report, “CSPs are focusing on automation of their network operations to improve efficiency and customer experience, and mitigate security concerns.” The market guide presents many new and actionable insights.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is one of the core services of AWS, designed to help users reduce the cost of acquiring and reserving hardware. EC2 represents the compute infrastructure of Amazon’s cloud service offerings, providing organizations a customizable selection of processors, storage, networking, operating systems, and purchasing models.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is an essential cornerstone of AWS and among its most popular service offerings. S3 allows tenants to store, secure, and retrieve data from S3 buckets on demand. It is widely used for its high availability, scalability, and performance. It supports six storage classes and several use cases, including website hosting, backups, application data storage, and data lake storage. There are two primary components of Amazon S3: Buckets and Objects.
