Summary

In this chapter, we have continued exploring the concept of FinOps, by understanding how it can adapt to different organizational situations and the methodologies and frameworks that are most used in the current industry.

We also reviewed all the base tools for cost management and optimization that are offered out of the box in each public cloud, as well as professional market tools that we can purchase to accompany our journey.

In the next chapter, we will begin to explore the Inform pillar by covering two key topics in cost allocation – naming conventions and tagging strategies.
