Overview of this book

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 technology and finance team, making it key relationship to establish and maintain for any thriving business. This book will help you understand how organizations with a mature FinOps practice can decentralize 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 organization to form the right FinOps team, including a Cloud Center of Excellence, and learn how to implement practical cost savings measures with AWS tools to optimize 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 organization to get the best value from the AWS cloud for your workloads.
