Why FinOps?
Gartner predicts that worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.7% to a total of $591.8 billion in 2023. Cloud Migration is not slowing down with up to 30% of organisations overall IT expenditure to be on cloud.
Due to variable nature of cloud, it can be challenging to understand if you are more familiar with fixed expenditure atypical in the traditional IT technology models. As companies rely more heavily on cloud for their infrastructure needs there is a need for a discipline and practice that helps organisations manage their cloud spending
The FinOps Foundation states "FinOps is the practice of bringing financial accountability to the variable spend model of cloud, enabling distributed teams to make business trade-offs between speed, cost and quality".
