Get FinOps right without destroying your agility

The new role of FinOps is key to managing cloud costs as companies implement digital businesses. Mis-implementing FinOps can destroy the agility of development teams and result in missed market opportunities. Asim Razzaq, the voice of podcast “Always An Engineer” and co-founder/CEO of Yotascale, has led amazing engineering teams at PayPal and eBay and will share his experience of how to get FinOps right.
Talk abstract

Asim will share how to build a culture of cloud cost ownership that enables:

  • Platform teams to manage self-service provisioning of cloud resources for their development teams
  • Engineers to be cost-conscious and manage their own utilization of cloud resources
  • Business leaders to know where their cloud resources are being spent relative to their business priorities and manage those priorities
