Why Cloud Costs Are Now a Board-Level Crisis

GAIMIN CEO writes to all peers in the cloud industry: providers, enterprises, startups, developers, and the finance leaders who now sit at the center of this storm. When the first promises of cloud were made, they sounded revolutionary. “Pay only for what you use. Scale up or down at will. Free yourself from the burden of hardware”. But today, that promise seems to have been broken. Instead of clarity, our industry has built a system of complexity. Instead of flexibility, it has created dependence. Instead of efficiency, it introduced unpredictability. The cloud, which was meant to be an invisible utility, has become a board-level liability.
