Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM)

A discipline and tooling category focused on continuously detecting and remediating cloud waste, inefficiency, and misconfiguration.

Why it matters

CEPM matters for AI because many AI cost problems are still mediated through cloud infrastructure behaviour, especially around GPUs, clusters, and shared platform waste.

CEPM tools are often most useful in the earlier stages of AI cost governance when infrastructure efficiency is the clearest control problem. For market context, see Vendor Map.
