Overview & Background
Stacklet conducted a survey of 315 cloud professionals across the United States, targeting those responsible for cloud infrastructure management and FinOps. The survey reveals key trends and challenges in optimizing cloud usage and managing costs, with a particular focus on preventing inefficiencies and waste. Many organizations are experiencing significant cloud spend due to avoidable issues such as outdated instance types, costly experiments with AI, incorrect resource sizing, and retention mismanagement. Limited visibility, manual processes, and a lack of preventive guardrails are major contributing factors, especially for enterprises with larger cloud footprints. This survey was conducted in partnership with Centiment, a research platform specializing in targeted audience surveys for businesses and academics.
