What is FinOps? I have had no clue until reading this article by Joe Fay on The New Stack. While I can confirm that reducing the spend on cloud Infrastructure requires a certain culture and support through automation, it also requires technologies that can be used independently of the CSP to avoid a technological vendor lock-in. #finops #cloudcosts #opensource

We have been exploring the potential of a "shift-left" approach to Cloud FinOps, focusing on embedding cost-aware practices early in the infrastructure lifecycle. This strategy is not just about saving costs; it's about instilling a culture of efficiency and accountability in the DevOps and engineering teams. By integrating cost optimization practices at the development phase, you can: ☁ 👨💼 Ensure every cloud resource is precisely aligned with business needs. 📈 💵 Leverage modern cloud technologies for improved performance and cost savings. 🔍 💸 Adopt proactive governance to avoid unnecessary expenses and operational inefficiencies. Here is a blog post that covers potential policies you can implement earlier in the lifecycle to prevent cloud costs or operational inefficiencies: https://lnkd.in/ebnUfCwj #FinOps #cloudinfrastructure

A recent survey conducted among FinOps practitioners revealed that 40% of respondents identified difficulties in persuading engineers to act upon their cost optimization recommendations as their primary FinOps-related challenge. Engineers may question why cloud cost optimization is relevant to them. The answer is straightforward: it's a collective responsibility, particularly in the age of FinOps Maturity. Introducing Terraform, an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool designed to automate cloud cost optimization, facilitating planning, optimization, and governance. 🔖 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Terraform offers a transparent view of your infrastructure, aiding engineers in pinpointing potential optimization opportunities. 📊 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Terraform automates various cost-saving measures, including deprovisioning unused resources and scaling down underutilized services. 🏦 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Terraform enforces cost policies, ensuring resources are configured cost-effectively while preventing unauthorized provisioning.

It’s easy to overspend on cloud services with no enterprise-wide visibility or predictability of utilization, making it hard to ensure cloud investments are bringing the speed and innovation expected. Check out Kyndryl's approach to FinOps on AWS 🚀

Kapil is on point; saving *starts* with removing waste, but true cloud efficiency comes from restructuring your environment. so you want to quit drinking soda? don’t buy it, put it in your fridge, then decide to throw it out; make it *impossible* to buy it in the first place. schedule a call with someone on our team to see how we use cloudcustodian and other finops tools to make cloud governance a reality: https://lnkd.in/gES-eGPu
