We invited Michel Zitman on to talk about Cloud Financial Management.
Shorthand: FinOps.
Some of the topics we cover this episode, in order:
☑️ Cloud financial management - FinOps explained
☑️ How Cloud Cost inefficiency occurs in the first place
☑️ FinOps as a skill
☑️ Where most Cloud Costs occur, and how to reduce those costs
☑️ Big chunks of optimizations already, and much more when looking ahead
My favourite quotes from Michel this episode:
- "Awareness increases accountability, which in turn increases awareness."
- "Turn off your cloud resources when you don't use them, just like how you would turn off the lights when you leave home."
Enjoy!
