Teilweise schon recht technisch und viele Use-Cases fehlen sicherlich, man muss aber auch beachten wie neu FinOps ist. Eine etwas andere Perspektive bzw Inhalte als der Klassiker 'Cloud FinOps' und damit als Zweitlektüre zu dem Thema definitiv zu empfehlen. Durch viele sehr konkrete technische bzw Produkt Themen sehr praxisnah und weniger Allgemein. Deshalb auch auf Updates achten, ansonsten ist das Buch in sehr wenigen Jahren sicher veraltet.

In the current state of cloud migrations and cloud usage in general, FinOps has become a more and more requested skill, which will get you the most of what you are paying for in the cloud.This book covers the meaning of FinOps and why it is so popular nowadays. It will do it for each type of company (for example, the one that does not have any cloud presence yet, and for the company that has a strong cloud maturity). It will show you the tools and techniques to take better care of the costs in the cloud(s).I think everyone who is doing cloud can benefit from at least skimming through this book - it covers three major clouds, the FinOps tools and practices, and their specifics in inform, optimize, and operate "modes". It helps you uncover the costs so you can more efficiently manage them and shows you how to manage and optimize them, by also using real case study examples. It will make you more "cost-aware"... which is a good thing! Recommending this book.

The unique appeal of this book lies in its pragmatic approach, heavily illustrated through real-life use cases. These examples serve not just as theoretical exercises but as tangible, actionable insights that engineers can directly apply to their work. By focusing on actual implementations and outcomes. I am always viewing cloud expenses as a measure of engineering solutions' efficiency. This books helps to make such efficiency real.
