FinOps & AWS - Effective Cloud Cost Optimization
WEBINAR
20.01.2021 | 17:00
Bet you’re throwing your money into the Cloud?
Don't get us wrong. We love the Cloud. But we also love our customers (and of course anyone who wants to become one). That's why we’ve searched for the best solution to make the flexible and confusing cost structure of the Cloud more visible and predictive for all stakeholders. And what did we find?
FinOps - the most efficient cost optimization for the Cloud
There are many reasons for high Cloud costs. They include lack of governance, lack of transparency and complex billing models. That’s great of course because it also means that there are many optimization possibilities. FinOps is a collaborative, cross-functional cost and resource optimization approach. Or in short: an approach that finally successfully combines IT and finance.
