Cloud Cost Governance
Cut cloud waste by 40%
FinOps governance that reclaims budgets without sacrificing cloud agility. Cost allocation, reserved instances, Spot automation, and right-sizing.
FinOps Practices
5 patterns that work
Cost Allocation Tags
Tag every resource by team, project, cost-center. Automate chargeback. Visibility kills waste.
Reserved Instance Pools
Buy RIs as a company. Pool them across teams. Utilization jumps from 45% to 75%.
Spot Automation
Non-critical workloads run on Spot. Failover to on-demand when needed. Karpenter orchestrates.
Right-Sizing by Workload
Profile real usage over 6 weeks. Downsize oversized instances. Quarterly refresh.
Commitment Discounts
AWS Savings Plans & Azure Commitments beat per-instance RIs. Lock in 40% discounts.
Storage & Data Optimization
Lifecycle policies, compression, deduplication. Big leverage on large data lakes.

Questions
FinOps · Answered
What's FinOps and why does it matter?+
FinOps (Financial Operations) is the practice of bringing accountability and visibility to cloud spend. Most enterprises waste 30-40% on idle resources and oversized instances. FinOps fixes this through cost allocation, reserved instances, and automation, without cutting features.
How much can we save with FinOps?+
Typically 30-40% of cloud spend. For a $1M/month cloud bill, that's $300-400K annually. Most savings come from: reserved instances (10-15%), Spot instances (10-15%), right-sizing (5-10%), and storage optimization (5%).
Will FinOps slow down our teams?+
No. Good FinOps is invisible to development teams. We implement cost-aware policies via Terraform/Infrastructure-as-Code, so teams stay agile while costs stay controlled. Automation > manual enforcement.
How do you handle multi-cloud FinOps?+
We audit all clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) together, allocate costs fairly across teams, and apply consistent policies. Tools like Vantage or CloudZero give unified visibility, then we enforce commitment discounts across all platforms.
