Your Cloud Bill is a Reflection of Your Culture.
Join the Parada Six Protocol. Weekly strategic directives for Engineering Leaders managing $15M+ in cloud spend.
Stop treating waste like a procurement problem and start treating it as a discipline.
Move "Inside-Out": Stop using financial patches (RIs/Savings Plans) to hide bloated, wasteful architecture.
Establish Clarity: Eliminate "Unknown" spend by accurately assigning every dollar to the team that requested the resource.
Enforce Accountability: End centralised cost. If a team owns the code, they own the P&L of the infrastructure it runs on.
Master Unit Economics: Shift focus from the total bill to Gross Margin—if your bill doubles but revenue triples, you are winning.
This protocol is designed specifically for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Architects managing high-scale, high-waste environments.
