Cloud-a-nomics 101: Govern the Spend, Fund the Future

Written by RedHelm | Oct 1, 2026, 5:02:21 PM



Cloud decisions are rarely just about choosing between public, private, hybrid, or multi-cloud. The real challenge is understanding what each workload actually requires, and whether the way you’re running and paying for it still makes sense.

In this session, RedHelm experts Christopher Risher, Matthew Hansbury, and Christopher Fox, along with Sami Khan from Dorman Trading, walk through a practical, vendor-neutral approach to evaluating cloud economics across different environments.

Using real-world-style workload scenarios, they explore how organizations can identify where workloads belong, when existing requirements need to be challenged, when committed or dedicated capacity makes sense, and when a workload may be better retired or replaced with a managed service.

You’ll learn:

  • The seven questions to ask before deciding where a workload should run
  • How workload requirements influence public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud decisions
  • When to optimize, commit, retain, move, or retire a workload
  • How to uncover hidden cost, capacity, and governance issues across your environment
  • How better workload decisions can free up resources for future business priorities

The goal isn’t simply to spend less on cloud. It’s to make cloud decisions you can defend based on business requirements, workload behavior, cost, and where your organization is headed next.
