FinOps Themes

Public Sector

Apply FinOps Framework to assist federal agencies as they begin (or mature) their cloud journey.

FinOps is Everyone’s Job

Finance, technology, product, and business teams work together in near real time as the cloud operates on a per-resource, per-second basis. Everyone must work together to continuously improve for efficiency and innovation.

FinOps for AI

Planning for, estimating, allocating, optimizing, and reporting on the cost of AI services that have token-based usage and cost models.

FinOps-Aware Product Decisions

Shifting cost from an afterthought to a key consideration in the product design process, or “shifting left” by designing and architecting for cost requirements before deployment.

Cloud Sustainability

Carbon-aware FinOps and the intersection of Cloud Sustainability with other capabilities such as Architecting for Cloud and Workload Optimization.

FinOps Scopes

A FinOps Scope is a segment of technology-related spending to which FinOps Practitioners apply FinOps concepts. FinOps Scopes expand the Framework operating model to include intersecting areas of technology spend that practitioners manage as FinOps extends beyond the public cloud.

FOCUS™

The FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS™) unifies cost and usage billing data across clouds, software, and data centers with an industry-standard format.
