2026 Cloudability Sessions
Making FOCUS Work in Practice: Lessons from Elo’s FinOps Journey Beyond Cloud
As organizations expand FinOps practices beyond public cloud, FOCUS has become a critical enabler. In practice, many teams still face technical challenges onboarding diverse cost and usage data sources. In this session, Elo will share how FOCUS became the missing link in its FinOps journey, providing the standard needed to aggregate and normalize all technology spend and unlock financial accountability at scale. Attendees will learn how Elo applied nuanced allocation and cost‑sharing rules across different types of costs, achieved 100% product‑level chargeback, gave all product owners personalized cost visibility, and operationalized these capabilities using Cloudability.

When AI Takes the Credit Card: Rethinking FinOps for Autonomous Systems
Artificial intelligence is introducing a new cost model—one where infrastructure spend is increasingly initiated by software rather than people. Models, pipelines, and agentic workflows can autonomously trigger compute consumption, challenging many of the ownership and attribution assumptions FinOps teams rely on today.
In this advanced session, we share lessons learned from building and operating AI systems ourselves. We examine how modern AI architectures behave financially, why traditional allocation, chargeback, and forecasting models struggle as autonomous systems initiate spend, and where today’s FinOps frameworks are likely to evolve next. Attendees will explore emerging approaches to cost ownership, unit‑cost measurement, and governance designed to adapt as AI systems become more autonomous and embedded across the business.
