6Analyzing and optimizing processes

• 6.1Cost optimization and aligning business processes

  Understand cost visibility (billing reports, budgets and alerts), optimization levers (committed-use discounts, Spot VMs, Active Assist recommendations, lifecycle), cost allocation via labels, and aligning with business goals/KPIs and continually revisiting stakeholder requirements.

• 6.2Optimizing technical processes (SRE, CI/CD, change management)

  Understand site reliability engineering operations (SLIs/SLOs/error budgets), safe delivery via CI/CD with deployment strategies (canary, blue/green, rollback), incident response and postmortems, and optimizing cross-team collaboration and decision-making.
