Cost optimisation, FinOps, and maximising value from the cloud
Watch now: Cost optimisation, FinOps, and maximising value from the cloud
Many organisations may struggle to control costs and optimise spending when first migrating to an as-a-service IT model, while others lose visibility and allow costs to spiral as their use of cloud matures. As one of the UK's leading Azure specialists, Shaping Cloud's CEO Helen Gerling was recently invited onto a techUK webinar that took a deep dive look at cost optimisation.
We've clipped together some of Helen’s thoughts on the issues arising and expert insights as to how organisations can use cloud more efficiently, keep costs down, and maximise return on investment from cloud modernisation.
Q&A summary:
What does cloud cost optimisation mean to you?
FinOps, governance frameworks, cost management tools - what’s key to cost optimisation in the cloud?
What are some of the common causes of loss of control over cloud costs?
When to comes to non-technical barriers ie the human factor, how do you embed a culture that champions the sort of cross-functional collaboration, accountability and cost awareness that underpins successful cost optimisation?
How do AI and automation fit into the cloud optimisation debate?
How would you characterise cloud’s impact on the sustainability agenda? Is there enough to turn what has historically been a cost centre for organisations embracing that agenda into a mechanism for cost/resource control/reduction?
