@forrestbrazeal What's monitoring and managing those monitoring agents and management tools?
@forrestbrazeal Security agents stepping on each others toes could probably be split off into a whole other category taking 25% on their own... Thereby bringing utilisation to an impressive 105%
@forrestbrazeal lost it at the database query. LMAOOO
@forrestbrazeal I gotta make one of these for us, but the first 5-15 minutes of every hour is zipping up the databases for upload
@forrestbrazeal With the cloud, that 8% cryptojacking could be an unlimited expense!
@forrestbrazeal Awesome except... if you move this into the cloud, nothing about this graph changes.
If you can't control your wasted resources, being on the cloud with no hard upper limit on waste is probably not going to help. :D
@tekhedd the point isn’t that the cloud makes these issues go away, but it sure does make them harder to ignore.

As an ex DBA, this chimes with me greatly
Tools such as 'Business Objects' have a lot to answer for.
And lazy 'SQL developers' who create views on top of existing views and haven't yet learned about functions.
