Tailoring a FinOps approach for each organization
The path to implement FinOps in each organization is definitely not the same. In some organizations, the focus of these practices should have a technical focus, increasing an organization’s overall knowledge on how to get the most out of cloud resources by educating it on key initiatives such as Reserved Instances, rightsizing, and other relevant cost optimization initiatives.
Conversely, in some scenarios, FinOps practice can shift value to the inform or operate pillar instead of the optimize pillar, allowing you to begin creating some visibility on how costs are distributed and getting a general understanding of cloud maturity before going forward, while defining FinOps processes to be followed to ensure continuous cost optimization.
In this section, we will try to describe, by using some scenarios, how to tailor a FinOps practice based on each organization’s cloud maturity and other relevant factors.
