FinOps brings financial accountability to the variable spend model of cloud. Used by the majority of global enterprises, this management practice has grown from a fringe activity to the de facto discipline managing cloud spend. In this book, authors J.R. Storment and Mike Fuller outline the process of building a culture of cloud FinOps by drawing on real-world successes and failures of large-scale cloud spenders.

Engineering and finance teams, executives, and FinOps practitioners alike will learn how to build an efficient and effective FinOps machine for data-driven cloud value decision-making. Complete with a road map to get you started, this revised second edition includes new chapters that cover forecasting, sustainability, and connectivity to other frameworks.

You'll learn:

The DNA of a highly functional cloud FinOps culture
A road map to build executive support for FinOps adoption
How to understand and forecast your cloud spending
How to empower engineering and finance to work together
Cost allocation strategies to create accountability for cloud and container spend
Strategies for rate discounts from cloud commitments
When and how to implement automation of repetitive cost tasks
How to empower engineering team action on cost efficiency

What You Need to Know Before Reading On:
At the time of writing, we assume readers will have a base level of knowledge of at least one of the three main public cloud providers (Amazon Web Services [AWS], Azure, and Google Cloud Platform [GCP]). Readers should understand how the cloud works and charges for resources. They should also be familiar with the major resource types like compute and storage, and higher-level service offerings like managed databases, queues, and object storage. A good starting place for the level of AWS knowledge needed is the AWS Business Professional training, or better, the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification. Both cover the basics of operating in AWS. For Google, check out the GCP Cloud Digital Leader course. For Azure, try the Azure Fundamentals learning path. These can usually be completed in a single-day workshop or through online training.
