The Dutch Cloud Meetup is organizing sessions for Cloud Takeaways. Cloud Takeaways is an event that is organized multiple times a year with great content on the Microsoft Cloud. Each event will be one session by acknowledged speakers within the Microsoft community. For the first sessions of 2023 we will have two speakers

Session:
Developers are being exposed to things like FinOps or a massive Azure bill. So let’s start incorporating costs into our cloud design to make the best performance solution and the most economical solution! In 2022 we see that security by design is common sense, why not incorporate the financial aspect. In this session we will share our thoughts on maintaining grip on your cloud bill & maintaining high performance. By incorporating our four pillars of economic cloud design you are able to design cost efficient and high performant cloud solutions. We will of course also explain “Zero User Costs” and “Geo Efficiency” so you can start today.
