You’ve been asked a simple question: “What does it cost to host this application?”
But the answer is anything but simple.
The platform sits across multiple data centres. The app spans a few VMs, shares a backup system, uses licensed monitoring, and touches five different teams. Your CMDB should help, but it’s rigid, outdated, or incomplete. And yet, you still need to provide a number, clear, explainable, and grounded in reality.
This session brings that challenge to the table.
We’ll explore: - How others approach cost attribution when infrastructure is shared and layered - What’s realistic to include in a hosting cost model, and what’s just noise - How to split overhead (like SIEM, networking, platform licenses) without creating drama - What works (or fails) in tools like ServiceNow, Excel, or homegrown calculators
It’s a focused, peer-led discussion for people tasked with making cost transparency real, across public cloud, private infra, and hybrid environments.
If you’ve ever tried to price an app and hit a wall, this session is for you.
