A COMPLETE GUIDE TO FINOPS BEST PRACTICES
Proven FinOps Methodology for Optimized Savings
Cloud is variable and ever-changing, and while some FinOps principles never really change, AHEAD likes to evolve our philosophy with both best practices and the state of the market in mind. The FinOps Foundation recently released their 2024 State of FinOps Report, and found that priorities are shifting for many organizations. Reducing cloud waste and managing commitment discounts are now top of mind for many organizations, reflecting the economic uncertainty of the last year.
At the same time, organizations are preparing for the costs of running AI and machine learning in the cloud. Since there is little to no baseline for such costs, organizations have been investing heavily in tools that can more accurately forecast cloud usage and spend. There is also a push to empower engineers to take action and optimize workloads to help control costs.
With so many moving parts and changing priorities, managing a successful FinOps program is more challenging than ever. But it can be done. This ebook is designed to break down the methodology that AHEAD uses to both help save clients up to 30% in YoY cloud costs and deliver more innovations through the cloud than ever.
