The cloud vendor bill is just line items on compute/storage/network spend. Are there tools to go beyond the surface and help understand the costs, and optimize cloud consumption? (Note this is not a question of cost saving in the cloud, I have seen the Q&A on that topic in the forums).

We’re currently exploring options to implement an iPXE-based WinPE deployment solution in Microsoft Azure. Our goal is to streamline OS provisioning for virtual machines using cloud-hosted boot scripts and WinPE images, ideally over HTTP/S for performance and flexibility. Key requirements: Must support iPXE booting in Azure (via ISO, custom VM image, or chainloading). Ability to host and serve WinPE images securely (e.g., via Azure Blob Storage or web server). Cyber Essentials Plus compliance is essential, as we operate in a regulated environment. Preferably a UK-based provider with experience in secure cloud deployments and endpoint provisioning. We’ve looked into solutions like 2Pint Software’s iPXE Anywhere, but we’re open to other vendors or managed service providers who can assist with setup, integration, and ongoing support. Has anyone implemented a similar solution or worked with a provider who meets this criteria? Any recommendations or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.

We are currently working on moving from on premise to hosted data centers using modern infrastructure. Internally, there is a lot of discussion around how often our technologists will need to visit the data centers to perform work once the data centers are in service. Does your organization keep metrics of how often your techs need to visit your data centers and are willing to share?

Who owns Communication in Network vs. Security Incidents? Best Practices & RACI Guidance Needed In many organizations, Network and Security teams both play a role in incident response, especially when firewall or SASE issues impact network performance. When an issue is first diagnosed by the Network team but determined to be security-related, who should own the ongoing communication, resolution updates, and root cause reporting? I’d love to hear from the community: • Are there best practices, ITIL/ITSM frameworks, or RACI models that clarify ownership? • How does your organization handle communication handoffs between Network and Security teams?
