Preface

First and foremost, greetings and welcome to this book! Before we dive into it, we want to introduce you to the reasons why we wrote this book and set up the context.

The idea for this book was born after an intense experience of building up a FinOps practice together with a great team, which we worked on from scratch and created something that we felt was worth sharing with the FinOps community.

For almost two nonstop years, we were fully dedicated to FinOps, unlike other architects or engineers who divide their time between a lot of projects. We worked on FinOps governance and implementation in a really complex environment, where nothing was easy, but it was definitely satisfying to build it and see it grow.

It was two years full of research, learning every step of the way, thinking about what else to propose, coming out with new ideas and approaches, overcoming the different walls that were in front of us, solving problems, and adapting along the way.

Our goal is to share all of it with you, in the hope that it will aid you in your future experiences.
