The CloudFinOps community has grown exponentially since the launch of the FinOps Foundation in 2019. 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.
There’s no better time to expand our reach and deepen our capabilities, given the nascent maturity of FinOps as a discipline, not to mention the recession in tech. Most companies are leaving money on the table The FinOps Foundation’s 2023 State of FinOps report lays out the thesis for ProsperOps in 2023 and beyond.
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.

Key Insight: The FinOps X 2024 Day 1 Keynotes covered the Evolution of FinOps to include more technology spending beyond public cloud, FinOps for AI, cost-aware product decisions, carbon-aware FinOps. Stories from Disney and Uber spoke to the the constantly changing FinOps landscape, the FOCUS 1.0
On February 26, 2019, the FinOps Foundation was publicly launched on a webinar hosted by a committed group of enthusiasts managing cloud cost and usage, and viewed by dozens of people around the world. The first edition of CloudFinOps was published later that year. And like the cloud, FinOps does not stand still.

Key Insight: In addition to all major cloud infrastructure providers, third-party FinOps tool vendors are adopting the FOCUS for their platforms. Thousands of Practitioners rely on these tools to perform FinOps in their organizations. Introduction With the launch of FOCUS 1.0
In the current landscape of cloud services, similar terminology still baffles professionals, and is used interchangeably. CFOs, CTOs, and cloud experts often mix up Financial Operations (FinOps) and CloudFinOps, among other terms.
Erik Carlin, co-founder and CPO at ProsperOps, recently joined the FinOps Guys podcast to share his take on FinOps metrics including Effective Savings Rate (ESR). The discussion centered on the evolution of automated cloud financial management and the establishment of a metric to track true cloud savings.
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.
Companies migrate to the cloud to become more productive, respond to market changes, and be flexible — while spending less on cloud infrastructure. But there is one thing that many cloud-based organizations have learned: Cloud costs add up.
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.
The Need for CloudFinOps In the modern cloud-driven business landscape, companies increasingly rely on various cloud setups, including multi-cloud environments, legacy systems, hybrid clouds, and different cloud providers with diverse services and pricing models.
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.

The same is true for cloud finances, says Benjamin van der Maas, Cloud Financial Management Practice Lead for Cloudar, a managed service provider (MSP). FinOps requires you to know exactly where to optimize your cloud costs, van der Maas says, so that you can sustain the “growth” of cloud transformation.
This is one of our customers’ biggest cloud financial management challenges, echoed by the State of FinOps 2022 survey for the past 2 years, and by IT leaders who ask us, “How can get our engineers to take a more active role in cost optimization?” A culture change is required.
Whether you’ve recently adopted a cloud platform for your organization or your cloud operations are well established, there are many ways to assess the overall effectiveness of your IT infrastructure. What Is a Cloud Center of Excellence? What Is FinOps? And what are your financial expectations?
Key Insight: To effectively manage the variable nature and distributed procurement model of cloud, FinOps Practitioners have built capabilities to maximize the value of their organization’s technology investments. We first explored this anticipated shift in the second edition of CloudFinOps (pg.
