Tens of thousands of people now manage the value of cloud for their organizations, and participate with fellow practitioners, supporting members, and cloud providers who make up the CloudFinOps community.
Key Insight: The FinOps Foundation’s Technical Advisory Council has approved an updated definition of FinOps. Over the next few months, other changes to the FinOps Framework will follow. The first edition of CloudFinOps was published later that year. And like the cloud, FinOps does not stand still.
The insights are particularly valuable for teams as they begin their FinOps journey and subsequently mature through its phases. Before we break down the top three methods to reduce cloud costs in the recommended order of implementation, here’s a quick guide for measuring success.

FOCUS is being adopted by end user FinOps Practitioners, leading cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers, and FinOps tool vendors, who all benefit from removing complexity associated with cloud billing data normalization. Start using it by turning on the data exports natively available from cloud providers.
What Is FinOps? FinOps, or Financial Operations, is an operational framework for deriving maximal value from cloud computing, while providing the data necessary for strategic decision making, and encouraging financial accountability for the use of cloud resources.
With this in-mind, let’s consider the difficulties I’m seeing in the field as organizations struggle (I think that’s the right word) to adopt FinOps principles to their cloud usage. IT provides purely technical explanations that confuse and annoy the business and no one seems to understand what to do beyond, reduce. Change is hard.
