As organizations continue their journey to the cloud, the FinOps discipline has become more critical than ever. The rapid adoption of AI workloads, multi-cloud strategies, and usage-based pricing models has introduced new challenges—and opportunities—for cost optimization. Having led Cloud FinOps initiatives across large SaaS environments, I’ve seen firsthand how FinOps can bridge the gap between finance and engineering. A few key insights: 1️⃣ Tagging & Accountability: Proper resource tagging isn’t just about cost allocation—it’s the foundation for accountability. Teams that own their cloud costs tend to innovate within budgets. Easier said than done. 2️⃣ Forecasting AI Workloads: AI and machine learning demand unique forecasting strategies. Usage spikes can be unpredictable, and right-sizing becomes a balancing act between performance and cost. i.e. Goldilocks conditions. 3️⃣ Multi-Cloud Management: While multi-cloud brings flexibility, it often leads to fragmented billing and hidden costs. Consolidating usage data and normalizing metrics are key to finding actionable insights. If properly leveraged, FOCUS (FinOps Cost and Usage Specification) promises to streamline cost reporting across providers, enhance transparency, and empower teams to make informed decisions by providing a unified view of cloud spend and usage. 4️⃣ Beyond Cost Optimization: FinOps isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about enabling smarter spending that drives business outcomes. Empowering teams with real-time visibility and strategic insights can lead to transformative innovation. I'm passionate about helping organizations navigate these complexities, building scalable FinOps practices that align with their goals.
