Companies that don’t monitor cloud server use may be paying their provider for compute cycles when no one is using them.
More and more companies are migrating to the cloud for 
computing power, but many are actually wasting too much money on unused services.
According to a Wall Street Journal story, common mistakes that drive up cloud computing costs include ordering too much computing power, failing to program software shutdowns in off hours, not using monitoring tools to keep tabs on wasted computing cycles, or allowing programmers to believe cycles are free.
