So I got a little out of my comfort zone last week and joined a Round Table discussion organized by friend and former colleague, Tim Dodd ☁ on the subject of FinOps. ...something I've been on the 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 side of as a Cloud Services Provider rather than having direct experience with first-hand. For anyone not familiar, FinOps is a relatively new framework and methodology for adopting 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 related to an organization's 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥. As more and more technology options present themselves with a variety of billing models, subscription rates, and general costs, it has become clear that 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 of optimizing and managing those costs is necesary. Enter: FinOps 💸 ☁ Most folks hear "FinOps" and immediately think: "cost control" 🚫 💵 While that's true, what FinOps is 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 doing is 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝. 📈 ☁ How can companies make sure that their workloads are hosted in the right places? ..that only the right people have the ability to add/modify/remove resources? ..that we're getting the best pricing for the resources we need for our solutions? ..that we're only consuming the things that we need and not '𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩' when it comes to the 𝘈𝘭𝘭-𝘠𝘰𝘶-𝘊𝘢𝘯-𝘌𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘵 of Cloud Services? Hear about all this 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 from our Round Table Discussion which was excellently hosted and moderated by Jon Myer, and let's talk further about FinOps, Cloud Costs, Management, and how we can continue to optimize and improve IT, in general! Give it a listen:

🌟 Insights from the Finops Conference: Priorities, Challenges, and Strategies for Success🌟 Thrilled to have had the opportunity to attend the Finops conference today, led by industry experts Dean Bosche and Mike Fuller. The insights shared regarding Finops priorities, including optimizing resource utilization, precise spend forecasting, and the potential of automation, were incredibly valuable. The session shed light on key challenges within the Finops landscape, such as the importance of organizational alignment, robust reporting and allocation processes, and the enhancement of tooling and governance frameworks. These discussions underscored the importance of aligning organizational goals with Finops principles to drive efficiency and cost optimization effectively. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from such distinguished leaders in the field and looking forward to applying these insights in my own Finops journey! 💼✨ #Finops #CostOptimization #Cloud

Most engineering and FinOps teams struggle to reduce cloud spend due to having a manual approach. The cloud has gotten incredibly dynamic, but we haven't seen the same trends when it comes to reducing wasted spend. If you're tired of manually trying to keep cloud costs under control, check out this webinar. #CloudZero #ProsperOps #Xosphere #FinOps #Automation #AWS #GCP

Public cloud and the rise of DevOps has created a whole new set of disciplines: DevSecOps, GitOps, DataOps, and FinOps. These new disciplines help organizations align their IT spending with business value more precisely. As some workloads shift back to on-premises for security or cost reasons, the need for a flexible, consumption-based model across hybrid cloud environments is more critical than ever.
