How to Build Cost Awareness into DevOps Workflows

4 stages to reduce wasted cloud spend—and engineer hours

Your download includes a complete resource kit designed to jump-start your learning.

Traditionally, FinOps has operated reactively, identifying waste and recommending optimizations only after configurations have been deployed and money has already been spent. Now, FinOps is evolving to a more proactive, shift left approach—providing engineers with cost visibility and guardrails before deployment, when issues are simpler and cheaper to fix.

To help you navigate this challenge, our guide outlines a 4-stage approach to embedding cost management and optimization earlier in your development lifecycle. Read this guide to learn how to:

  • Establish accountability for the resources driving excessive cost
  • Build optimization insights, actions, and advisories into existing engineering workflows
  • Ensure that a project’s value will justify its costs before development begins
