What you'll learn

Cost visibility alone rarely changes how an organization spends on the cloud. Without a recurring operating rhythm, findings go unowned, the wrong people show up to reviews, and expensive decisions get committed before anyone checks the numbers. In this course, Operating a Cloud FinOps Practice, you’ll gain the ability to run FinOps as a repeatable discipline that produces measurable results. First, you’ll explore how to build a recurring cadence of cost, budget, forecast, anomaly, optimization, and planning reviews with the right stakeholders in each. Next, you’ll discover how to translate cost findings into recommendations and escalations that engineers, finance partners, product owners, platform teams, and leadership will act on. Finally, you’ll learn how to select KPIs and unit economics that show whether the practice is working and how to adjust reporting, governance, and cadence based on what they tell you. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of FinOps practice operations needed to keep cloud spend visible, owned, and improving over time.
