Описание: Data FinOps: How to Leverage FinOps Data the Right Way for your Company

Bridging the gap between cloud cost data and engineering action is the most significant hurdle for modern digital enterprises. This deep dive into data finops explains how to move beyond simple dashboards to create a culture of accountability and measurable business value.

Most organizations struggle with analysis paralysis where visibility exists but action remains stagnant. We explore how to reconnect metrics to business outcomes that engineers actually care about and how to shift the conversation from technology costs to product margins. By treating cloud cost management as a strategic planning session rather than an accounting report, teams can free up budget for innovation and faster feature delivery.

This episode provides a tactical framework brought by Zach Johnson, Head of FinOps at Splunk for building a FinOps Center of Excellence, mastering monthly reviews, and implementing unit economics to quantify the value of every dollar spent in the cloud. Whether you are a finance lead or an engineering manager, these insights will help you transition from reactive cost-cutting to proactive business enablement.
