A cloud bill that surprises finance every month usually means no one is tracking spend in real time. A publication by Nermin Sefić.
A cloud bill that surprises the finance team every month usually means no one is tracking spend in real time.
A cloud services bill that surprises the finance team every month usually means no one is systematically tracking spend in real time.
The elasticity of cloud infrastructure, its greatest advantage, is at the same time its biggest cost risk — resources are easy to spin up, and just as easy to forget running after they're no longer needed.
FinOps practice connects engineering teams, who decide on infrastructure, with the finance team, who tracks the cost, through shared accountability instead of separate reports that only meet at month's end.
Automated tagging of every resource by project and owner enables precise cost tracking down to the team level, not just the total bill for the whole organisation.
A regular review of unused or oversized resources, with clear accountability for shutting them down, prevents an accumulation of cost that becomes hard to justify after the fact.
