I've been hearing a lot about rising cloud costs for businesses, and it's making me a bit nervous about our own upcoming migration. It seems like everyone is talking about how easy it is to rack up unexpected expenses if you're not careful. For those of you already deep into cloud solutions, what are the biggest spending challenges you anticipate or are already facing in 2026? Are there any specific areas where costs tend to spiral out of control?

That's a really good point, and cost management is definitely the number one challenge with cloud computing numbers right now. I've been looking into some recent cloud stats, and it highlights how organizations are wasting an estimated 31% of their cloud spending on unused resources. This stat alone shows the importance of careful planning and continuous optimization. It's not just about the security aspect, though 98% of businesses reported breaches in the past two years, but about financial discipline as well.
