About this template
This OKR targets a reduction in the organization's cloud expenditure by 15% while maintaining the same level of performance. This cost-efficiency effort involves three main strategies; cutting down underutilized resources, educating the development team, and implementing auto-scaling in certain applications.
The first strategy is eliminating underutilized cloud resources. To achieve this goal, 10% of underperforming resources will be identified and safely terminated. Analyzing cloud resource usage data will contribute to the successful implementation of this strategy.
The second strategy revolves around training. It aims to coach 50% of the development team on cloud cost-optimization best practices. The training will be delivered by a qualified instructor, focusing on individuals who can most benefit from these sessions.
The last strategy is the implementation of auto-scaling in at least 30% of applications. This approach is ideal for balancing performance requirements and cost-efficiency. Proper configuration, monitoring, and adjusting of the auto-scaling parameters is necessary to hit this target.
