**Overview**
Cloud bills often spiral out of control for startups and small businesses — resources are left running, services are over-provisioned, or spend simply isn’t tracked. In fact, more than half of companies say they’re overspending on cloud. The good news? With a few practical strategies, you can cut costs significantly without sacrificing performance.

**What You’ll Learn**

* **Cloud basics in plain English** – what you really need to know about IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
* **Where the money goes** – why compute usually eats up most of your bill.
* **Simple cost-saving wins** – turning off unused resources, using reserved pricing, rightsizing.
* **Tools & habits that help** – from dashboards to “light” FinOps practices.
* **Case study inspiration** – how companies reduced waste and made cloud spend work for growth.

**Who Should Attend**

* Startup founders and SMB owners running on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
* Operations and tech leads looking to get smarter about spend.
* Professionals preparing for cloud certifications who want real-world applications.
