FinOps aims to set up all the tools and processes to master the variable cloud cost model. What exactly is it used for and how do you set it up? Read More
It is worthwhile to access and recalibrate the financial models associated with the cloud to take full advantage of it. This is precisely the role of the new profession of FinOps. Its mission is to set up all the tools and processes to master the cloud's variable cost model. To achieve this, it integrates the needs of agility, performance, security and quality of service in order to optimize business applications. What exactly is it used for, and how do you set it up?
The goal of FinOps is to take up the financial management of the company's cloud transformation. Setting up an economic model integrates the new modes of cloud resource consumption and invoicing of these services by working on three dimensions. These dimensions are
The first difficulty is to measure your investment in this area, according to the utility-cost ratio. If your investment is on a small scale, then just moving to the cloud requires FinOps rules. Moreover, depending on the level of cloud consumption, it is preferable to have a manager or even a team whose costs will have to be absorbed.
Therefore, if it is only an extension of existing data centers, the implementation of best practices and suitable tools or the use of shared FinOps services will suffice. But, if your strategy is a complete migration to the public cloud, setting up a FinOps team becomes mandatory to avoid consuming too much.
Even the implementation process is relatively quick: around six months.
However, the full appropriation of good practices, the understanding of the new economic model, and the upgrading of all the teams' skills are essential for the real success of the transformation. Therefore, evangelization of new uses and the management of change must be an integral part of the process across all stages.
Too many companies want to migrate to the public cloud, without setting up a FinOps approach, for lack of a team. For the public cloud to be really cheaper, you need to financially control its use, thanks to FinOps. Ideally, this approach will be implemented simultaneously as cloud migration, but it can be deployed as a posteriori. Because analyzing the uses, your users make of their applications allows you, above all, to adapt them to their needs. Bringing together IT, finance, and businesses ... isn't that the real promise of the cloud?
