1. Investigation and Planning • Proof Of Concept (POC) projects
• Not too simple • Might look good, but not a POC • RightScale Webinars
• Architect the application 1. Think about services (compute, storage, data transfers etc)

Cloud Cost Tips • Things to note at this stage:
• Server costs will be 70-95% of your costs, however, do not look past other costs
• Storage, Database, Data Transfers, Support, Licenses, Others
• You pay for the amount of storage you provision, not the amount you use • Specific resources for specific use cases
• If you terminate a server with a volume attached, you will still be charged for the volume More: blog.PlanForCloud.com

3. Optimization • Resource Optimization
• Using existing resources more optimally • Looking at monitoring metrics (CPU, Memory etc) • Setting procedures in place • Using the correct resources for the job (e.g. EBS vs S3 vs Glacier)
• Cost Optimization • Require business decisions to be made • Usually cloud provider specific (purchase options)
