FinOps and Sustainability

Why FinOps: Loss of financial control, through procurement on demand Cloud infrastructure and software is costed differently than for on-premises data centres. It’s a world of OpEx instead of CapEx. DevOps and the cloud have broken the traditional procurement model, which is static and slow moving. Engineers are consuming IT budgets with few constraints and controls. As a result, engineers make financial commitments affecting their companies’ bottom line while budget owners struggle to keep up with the pace and granularity of spend.
