In today’s digital-first era, cloud adoption is central to business operations. While cloud offers scalability, flexibility, and agility, uncontrolled cloud spending can result in budget overruns, wasted resources, and misaligned financial priorities.
The FinOps Foundation Certification from DevOpsSchool enables professionals to control, optimize, and manage cloud costs efficiently, ensuring financial accountability and business value.
Mentored by Rajesh Kumar, a globally recognized expert with 20+ years of experience, this certification blends theory, practical insights, and real-world applications.
What is FinOps?
FinOps is a practice that combines finance, technology, and operations to optimize cloud spending. Unlike traditional IT budgeting, FinOps emphasizes:
- Transparency: Real-time visibility of cloud usage and costs
- Collaboration: Engineering, finance, and operations working together
- Optimization: Minimizing waste while maximizing cloud ROI
- Automation: Leveraging tools for monitoring, reporting, and forecasting
Key Benefits:
- Clear accountability across teams
- Accurate forecasting and budgeting
- Reduced wasted resources
- Data-driven decision-making
The FinOps Lifecycle: Inform, Optimize, Operate
- Inform: Gain insight into cloud costs and usage patterns for all teams.
- Optimize: Identify inefficiencies, implement rightsizing, and optimize resource utilization.
- Operate: Monitor, automate, and continuously improve cloud financial operations.
Organizations adopting this lifecycle experience better cost control, improved ROI, and informed strategic decisions.
