What is Cloud Efficiency?

Cloud Efficiency is a spend-weighted measure of cloud utilization, telling you how much of your cloud spend you are actually using.
For example, if your cloud efficiency is 25%, that means your are using 25 cents for every dollar you spend on your cloud footprint.
Put another way, you are not using 75 cents of every dollar you spend! That is money you could use to improve profitability, add more team members, or spend on teams offsite ;)
Spend is an imperfect measure of how efficiently you are using your cloud and how well you are managing costs.
