Financial Cloud Management
Put simple, FinOps is the financial operating model of the cloud. It is essentially a cultrual practice that delivers operational and financial control for the cloud and related spending.
When Finops are done correctly, organization can make value-based decisions on how to scale their cloud without risk since they better understand their cloud costs. It doesn’t take long before every cloud consumer realizes a harsh reality about the cloud – if you don’t actively manage your spending, it will balloon up out of control without notice.
Finops should never be overlooked as it can save you extra costs down the line related to unnecessary spending that leads to unplanned consumption of budgets, greater frustration with IT, and a decrease in operating margins. An equally important factor to keep in mind is how a lack of structure can cause factions within departments and ensuing cultural difficulties that inhibit innovation and which are a detriment to productivity and efficiency.
