FinOps – Your Key to Building an Efficient Cloud Cost Management Strategy
Because cloud technologies span across departments within an organization, this cross-ownership makes it easy for organizations to lack the visibility needed to control costs. This increases the need for stronger cloud financial management, also known as “FinOps.”
FinOps is a model designed to help cloud adopters leverage the power of the cloud and control their costs across all departments.
Leveraging the FinOps model, you can gain the visibility you need to optimize your cloud investments, all while empowering your teams to make informed business decisions and drive accountability for cloud spending.

Benefits of Cloud Financial Management
The benefits of the cloud are secret to none, but soon orphaned workloads can accumulate and costs can become unwieldy. That’s where FinOps comes to the rescue.
According to a report by IDC, by 2023, 80% of organizations using cloud services will implement a dedicated FinOps function to optimize cloud resources to maximize value.

FinOps Maturity Model
FinOps is iterative by nature. You will witness improvement in the maturity of any given process, domain, capability, and functional activity with repetition.
A “Crawl, Walk, Run” approach to performing FinOps allows companies to start small, thus growing in scale, scope and complexity as functional activity matures.

Key FinOps Metrics and Performance Indicators
Peter Drucker was right when he stated, “What gets measured gets managed.” That’s why it is important to establish metrics and KPIs to create measurable benchmarks for cloud resource monitoring and usage.
Here are some key metrics to keep in mind for FinOps success:
Resource Optimization Metrics, such as:
Actual vs. Budget Per Service
Percentage of Underutilization of Services
Spend Per Application
Pricing Optimization Metrics, such as:
Committed Use Discount (CUDs)
Preemptible Instance Coverage Ratios
Idle On-demand Resource Ratios
Once these metrics are in place, you can establish advanced KPIs.
Cloud Optimization KPIs, such as:
Rightsizing Savings Percentage
Effective Cost Per Resource
Number of Security Lapses in a Month
Important KPIs, such as:
Savings Plan Coverage
Rightsizing Opportunity Value
Usage on Weekends vs Weekdays
Cloud Visibility KPIs, such as:
% of Environment With Tagging in Place
% of Bill From Untagged Resources
% of Revenue Spent on the Cloud
