We have tried to check the mandatory one’s required and which is generating maximum traffic, then if it can shifted to some other architecture design we do it and also monitor constantly the traffic pattern and take actions accordingly

To better manage my cloud egress budget, I have implemented a proactive approach by monitoring several key metrics. Firstly, I pay special attention to data analysis and network traffic management. This allows me to understand data transfer trends and identify the main sources of costs.

Next, I regularly assess the performance of my applications to optimize their efficiency and reduce unnecessary data transfers. By forecasting the future usage of these applications, I can anticipate potential cloud egress costs.

Finally, I consider data management strategy as one of the most critical aspects. By implementing data governance policies, I can determine which data should be permanently stored in the cloud and which data can be moved to less expensive or local storage solutions. This approach helps me streamline my expenses while ensuring optimal resource utilization.

By combining these various measures, I am able to improve the budgeting of my cloud egress costs and gain better control over my overall expenses. This allows me to make the most of my cloud usage while maintaining a responsible and cost-effective approach.
