In this scenario, the company has been running tests on a newly developed algorithm to improve the responsiveness of an application, but the monthly bills for testing have been higher than expected. To identify the cause of the higher bills, the company should examine the compute report first.
Compute resources are used to process data, run applications, and perform calculations in the cloud. Compute resources are typically charged based on usage, such as the number of virtual machines (VMs), the duration of VM usage, or the amount of CPU utilization.
The compute report will provide details on the usage of compute resources, including the number of VMs, the duration of usage, and the amount of CPU utilization. By examining the compute report, the company can determine whether it is using more compute resources than expected, and identify any inefficiencies in the algorithm that may be causing excessive resource usage.
While the memory, network, and storage reports may also provide valuable information, they are less likely to be the cause of unexpectedly high bills in this scenario. The memory report would provide information on the usage of RAM or memory, the network report would provide information on data transfer and bandwidth usage, and the storage report would provide information on the usage of storage resources. However, compute resources are typically the largest cost driver in cloud computing, so examining the compute report first would be the most effective way to identify the root cause of the high bills.
