Business profitability and sustainability are powerful reasons to invest in infrastructure efficiency, but it is easy to feel lost about how to actually reduce costs. A foundation of robust and actionable data is essential for a successful efficiency program.

Here are some suggestions from our experience that ensured the Airbnb CUR was robust and accurate:
- Design with downstream use cases in mind.
- Build for retroactive adjustments.
- Study the options for obtaining raw data.

Developing a trustworthy and interpretable cost data foundation set Airbnb up for long-term success in cloud cost management. But data alone is not enough to achieve cost savings. Leadership commitment to savings goals, effective program management, contract management, and technical excellence across Airbnb made the success of the program possible.

Achieving Insights and Savings with Cost Data The path to cloud efficiency begins with a cost data foundation

Oracle on Wednesday announced that it's making GoldenGate, its popular real-time data fabric, available as a cloud-native service that's highly automated and fully managed.

The intent is to bring the service to a wider market -- both by making it more affordable and more accessible for non-technical users.

Oracle's GoldenGate technology is a set of platform components that have helped organizations with data replication for more than 10 years. Oracle already has thousands of GoldenGate customers, including more than 80 percent of the Fortune 100.

In its new form, customers don't have to worry about extracting data, transforming it to fit database cloud services, or loading it into database cloud services.

Moreover, the service also takes care of analyzing the data in real-time as it's being replicated, and it delivers continuous business continuity while data is being replicated.

All told, it simplifies the process of moving data between different database types, vendors, and products.
