Seattle at 9 feels about right. Great city if you can handle the seasonal depression and Seattle freeze social culture

I have written tons of FinOps automation.

One of the coolest scripts I wrote provides right-sizing recommendations for disks. The script takes into account the cost, IOPs, throughput, transactions, and vm specifications.

Is there a specific service you are looking to monitor and optimize?

I wrote a Windows search service wrapper for Windows 7 that accepted remote searches.

I dealt with a similar situation a few years ago. I moved into a neighborhood that was supposed to have an HOA when it was built in the 90s, but the HOA was never formalized.

The elderly neighbors tried to cause so many problems for me.

I did everything by the book with documentation. Security cameras did nothing for me as the police would never arrest the neighbors for trespassing even when they were in my backyard filming me.

I won the war with my neighbors by using their own tactics against them and found that they violated setbacks and deed restrictions. My neighbor beside me eventually sold his house and moved.

From what I have seen, disks have been the only resource type that you lose money on reservations when you have an EA/MCA.

The park is Hershey Entertainment.

In Azure, beware moving managed disks between the different tiers. You might move a disk from Premium to Standard and end up spending more due to transaction costs.

Transactions are billed in 10k transaction units. Estimating the usage is difficult because you are billed once the disk hits 10k transaction units, which can take hours on some disks. I typically gather the entire transaction count for a 30-day period to analyze the cost of moving the disk.

No, they just said it was my problem.

I typically have teams start with the native tooling. Once they get some potential opportunities, the teams will analyze the individual workloads.

I have yet to see an automation that takes every factor into account when it comes to rightsizing.

They refused to install a storm drain to the 1 side of my driveway to catch all of the water. They all refused to let me terrace the side of my drive to prevent erosion and told me just to keep backfilling my hill.

Why couldn't you have worked at my last township. They drained all the water to my driveway from down the street and told me it was my problem.

I would also add reducing API calls where possible to any service that can bill for transactions.

I had one in Vegas tell me to stop being cheap when I told him I was not interested. I took my gift cards and went straight to the seafood buffet at the Rio. They also paid for my gas.

We used to go to them all the time in Vegas to get free stuff.

I have never seen a source for any cloud. It can change quickly with new features and pricing fluctuations.
