The Public Cloud has been a major boon for innovation and agility for companies. Many companies that have rushed to the Cloud have been shocked with constant billing surprises resulting in budget overages during a brutal economic environment. Industry reports estimate that 30-50% of Cloud spend is wasteful and avoidable. In this presentation, the participant will learn why the Cloud operating model is fundamentally different from the data-center. This will be followed by an introduction to FinOps, a new and emerging discipline that enable companies to manage costs and govern their Cloud environment. FinOps use-cases will demonstrate how to save up to 40% of testing costs, reduce cost spikes and billing shocks.
