Embracing Automation & Proactive Governance

While dedicated FinOps teams remain crucial in fostering cost-awareness and educating stakeholders, the future of FinOps lies in a governance-first approach leaving the future success of FinOps practices intricately linked with the capabilities and collaboration with CloudOps teams. By embracing automation and proactive governance, organizations can achieve greater efficiency and cost savings and go faster with less risk and the following are possible:
- Visibility into security and financials across your organization
- Guardrails to control and define what accounts or roles can or can’t do
- Enhanced security to reduce the risk of overprivileged access
- Automation to enforce guardrails and stop the busy work
- Cost management strategies that prevent cost overruns before they happen
