Frequently Asked Questions
What is FinOps?
FinOps (Financial Operations) is the practice of bringing financial accountability to the variable spend model of cloud. It's about collaboration between Engineering, Finance, and Product.
Why track Unit Cost?
Total spend always goes up as you grow. Unit Cost tells you if you are getting *better* or *worse* at using the cloud as you scale.
How do I lower Unit Cost?
Rightsizing instances, using Spot instances, buying Savings Plans/RIs, and architectural changes (e.g., moving to Serverless or fixing unoptimized queries).
What is 'Iron Triangle' of FinOps?
Speed, Cost, Quality. You can usually optimize for two. FinOps helps you make conscious trade-offs.
