Are "free" cloud credits holding your business back? Join us for an online webinar as we explore the hidden risks associated with cloud credits and the impact they have on businesses. Our speakers, Simon Hansford, Chief Commercial Officer at Civo, and James Marks, Founder of Canopy, will share their knowledge and experience on this critical topic. This webinar is based on our recent whitepaper, which examines the "cloud credit trap" and its far-reaching implications for organizations.

During this 60-minute webinar, Simon and James will discuss the primary concerns associated with cloud credits, how hyperscalers use them to attract and retain customers, and the strategies organizations can employ to avoid the cloud credit trap. They'll also explore the role of regulatory bodies in addressing these issues and what a more sustainable approach to cloud adoption might look like.

By attending this webinar, you'll gain valuable insights into:

  • The potential long-term consequences of relying on "free" cloud credits and how to mitigate these risks
  • Strategies for maintaining control over cloud spend and ensuring cost transparency and governance
  • Emerging alternatives and solutions that can help businesses prioritize control, agility, and innovation in their cloud adoption journey
