Today we’re joined by Sanjna Srivatsa of VMWare to discuss the complexities of multicloud enterprise cost management. The already complex business of reservation management gets infinitely more difficult at the scale of hundreds of teams all making individual decisions across different platforms.

Find out how VMWare overcame these difficulties to achieve one of the best effective savings rates in the industry. We discuss the unique features of VMWare’s cloud cost management approach, from equitable chargebacks to hierarchical forecasting to in-house reservation management systems.

We tackle the age-old debate: should enterprises build or buy? We talk VMWare’s acquisition of CloudHealth and the differences in mindset from hypergrowth startup mode to large enterprise.

And finally, peek into the crystal ball as we discuss some promising advances awaiting teams in the realm of multicloud workloads.
