Costs are an important consideration while running workloads on the cloud. Being cognizant about how services incur costs helps in savings, adoption of efficient workflows, and use of sophisticated services that are better tailored for your current workload. It is a good practice to understand how the usage of specific features and services can lead to saving costs.
