Episode #11: What’s the Cost of the Cloud? IaaS, FinOps & Cloud Cost Management

Featuring:
Huy Tran — FinOps Advisor, Apptio Cloudability
Adam Jensen — FinOps Advisor, Apptio Cloudability

Through 2020, 80% of organizations will initially overshoot their IaaS budget, due to a lack of cloud cost optimization, governance and misguided upfront cloud spend commitments. Cloud financial management and a practice known as FinOps helps tackle this potential overrun.

Hear from Scott Kellish, Snr Partner Solutions Architect from Amazon web services (AWS) on cloud financial management, cloud consumption model changes and activities that can help tackle these new challenges.

Also get to an understanding of FinOps (Financial Operations) which is a new operating model for the cloud. Hear from Apptio Cloudability on the principles of FinOps and the connection to the popular TBM (Technology Business Management) framework for a viewpoint of all technology investments.
