AWS FinOps Simplified (1 ed)

AWS FinOps Simplified: Eliminate cloud waste through practical FinOps 1st Edition

Much like how DevOps is a combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that advocate a collaborative working relationship between development and IT operations, FinOps encourages the same collaboration between the technology and finance teams, making it a key relationship to establish and maintain for any thriving business.

This book will help you understand how organisations with a mature FinOps practice can decentralise cost ownership to developer teams and encourage cross-functional collaboration between business, finance, and technology, enabling speed, innovation, and business growth. You'll focus on structuring your organisation to form the right FinOps team, including a Cloud Centre of Excellence, and learn how to implement practical cost savings measures with AWS tools to optimise costs in both the short as well as long term.

By the end of this Cloud FinOps book, you'll be ready to implement a successful Cloud FinOps practice for your organisation to get the best value from the AWS cloud for your workloads.
