FinOps
Keeping cloud spend visible, owned and under control on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud: measuring real usage, rightsizing, power-off schedules for non-production, reservations, savings plans and committed use discounts, and stopping the storage and orphaned-resource leaks that bill every month. 7 guides and 12 cost scripts.
The FinOps loop
No hardware to buy up front and the freedom to resize at any time, as long as someone keeps measuring and adjusting.
