What is FinOps?

FinOps — short for Financial Operations — is an evolving cloud financial management discipline and cultural practice that brings financial accountability to the variable spend model of cloud.

Organizations adopt FinOps to maximize the business value of cloud, enable timely data-driven decision making, and create financial accountability through collaboration between engineering, finance, and business teams.

Why does FinOps matter?

In the cloud, spending decisions are made thousands of times a day by engineers who often don't see the invoice. FinOps gives them visibility and accountability.
