3. Performance: Match resources to the workload and make cost-performance tradeoffs explicit.
4. Transparency: Make our operating decisions and practices understandable to customers.
5. Clear pricing: Show what customers use and what they pay for.
6. Simplicity: Keep deployment, monitoring, and billing easy to follow.
