SHOW NOTES:

• Gain visibility and control of your cloud spend with Datadog Cloud Cost Management
• Datadog introduces Cloud Cost Management

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let’s talk about your background, and what you focus on at Datadog.

Topic 2 - Cloud cost management has become a very active focus area since the economy has been slowing down. How are you seeing customers, or engineering teams thinking about cost differently than before? 

Topic 3 - Since Datadog provides so much visibility into active applications (APM, Observability, Troubleshooting), do you take a similar approach to Cost Management? 

Topic 4 - Accountants understand costs, but not technology. Engineers understand technology, but do you find that they understand costs? How do you help them conceptualize costs and be able to make changes that impact their applications? 

Topic 5 - What are some of the unique things that Datadog does with the new Cloud Cost Management offering? How does it tie into the other aspects of Datadog?

Topic 6 - The service is new, but what are some of the surprising things you’ve observed about how companies are using this insight into their cloud costs?
