Wasted Cloud Spend

Organizations often focus on cost optimization and efficiency during economic uncertainty or downturns to ensure financial sustainability. Couple that with the current inefficiencies inmost cloud deployments, and it's easy to see why FinOps is a hot topic. The2023 edition of the Flexera State of the Cloud Report stated that 28% of cloud spend is wasted, representing a total of $166 billion in wasted annual cloud spend. Identifying wasted cloud spend is a common challenge for many companies.

FinOps Framework

The FinOps (Financial Operations) framework was created to address the challenges that arise with the adoption of cloud computing, particularly the pay-as-you-go model and the need for cost optimization. The FinOps framework systematically optimizes cloud costs, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and cost-effectively.

The FinOps framework is a set of practices and principles designed to align financial management with cloud operations. It optimizes cloud costs, improves financial visibility, and fosters collaboration between finance, IT, and business teams. The FinOps framework helps organizations effectively manage their cloud spending, drive cost efficiency, and maximize the value of their cloud investments.
