NerdioCon 2025 is set to be the ultimate gathering of IT pros, and among the standout speakers this year is Leee Jeffries. As a Nerdio Valued Professional (NVP) and a seasoned expert in cloud performance and workload optimization, Leee brings a wealth of experience in right-sizing environments for cost efficiency and peak performance.
If balancing cloud performance and cost is a challenge for your organization, Leee’s session will be an essential stop at NerdioCon 2025. We caught up with him to get a sneak peek at his session and what makes NerdioCon a can’t-miss event.
"What will attendees learn at your session?"
From fluctuating workloads and application demands to the impact of security patches and tech updates, Leee’s session breaks down why performance tuning in the cloud is trickier than it looks.
“You have to find the sweet spot—too much capacity and you’re overspending; too little, and user experience suffers,” Leee explains. “I’ll cover the tools and techniques IT teams can use to balance cost and performance effectively.”
But it’s not just theory. Leee will walk through real-world examples where not right-sizing workloads led to unnecessary costs and performance roadblocks. He’ll also cover the tools IT teams can use to strike the perfect balance between cost and efficiency, including industry favorites such as Nerdio Manager (of course!), LoginVSI, LoadGen, and Automai, as well as open-source and homegrown solutions. And, because he’s all about making life easier, he’ll be sharing some of his own automation scripts with attendees.
A first-time NerdioCon experience
While this is Leee’s first time at NerdioCon, he’s already looking forward to what makes it special.
“NerdioCon isn’t just about sitting in a room listening to slides—it’s a chance to connect with people who live and breathe this technology every day,” he says. “I’m excited to meet the other NVPs, interact with the Nerdio team, and learn from sessions on new use cases and innovations.”
With a mix of deep technical sessions, hands-on experiences, and a community-driven atmosphere, NerdioCon is more than just another IT conference—it’s a chance to collaborate, learn, and walk away with real-world solutions.
Join us in Palm Springs from April 7-9 to hear from Leee and other industry leaders, and maybe even grab some exclusive automation scripts to test in your own environment.
We’ll see you there!
