This month we talk about the FinOps Framework. The Framework has been vastly improved and updated to match what FinOps practitioners are doing, in the tranches.
Who better than Rob Martin to guide us into the Framework? No-one. And we like him so much that he is the first returning interviewee.
---
In this episode, we (SteveO and Frank) interview Rob Martin from the FinOps Foundation to discuss the recent updates to the FinOps framework.
We talk about the process of updating the framework, the changes made to the domains and capabilities, and the importance of simplifying the language.
We also discuss the first steps for organizations and individuals new to FinOps, including using the framework sub-site and conducting a maturity assessment.
The conversation also touches on the significance of visibility and transparency in building trust within the organization, the different personas involved in FinOps a new type of persona called 'allies'
The conversation also touches on the upcoming changes to the framework, including updates to the certifications and training. We introduce some of the FinOps upcoming events, including the Members' Summit, FinOps X, and FinOps XE.

The conversation is filled with insights and analysis of the latest developments in the cloud industry. There are new machine types available on GCP, such as the C3 bare metal machine types and the sixth generation Intel-based VMs. Serverless compute options, like Azure Databricks and OpenSearch serverless, provide efficient and cost-effective ways to run workloads without managing infrastructure. Storage enhancements, such as the Convert Azure Premium SSD v2 disk and Amazon FSX for Open ZFS, offer improved performance and cost optimization. Log management tools, like Azure Monitor Logs and AWS Cost Categories, help users collect, analyze, and act on telemetry data from various resources. Cost optimization features, like AWS Focus 1.0 and GCP backup commitment-based use discounts, provide ways to optimize cloud spending. Committed use discounts are available for backup for GKE, allowing users to commit to a consistent amount of usage in exchange for a discounted rate. AWS now offers fully licensed commitments and portable license commitments for purchasing VMware engine commitments, providing customers with more options for using VMware in the cloud. VM hibernation is now generally available in Azure and AWS, allowing users to save compute costs by persisting the VM state in memory and deallocating the VM. Azure has introduced a cost card in the portal, allowing engineers to estimate costs and adjust as needed before deploying VMs. Google Cloud's FinOps Hub now allows users to view their carbon footprint and estimated greenhouse gas emissions for their Google Cloud usage.

Send us a text "An isomorphism is the fancy maths word for an analogy." - Dr James Mitchell Dr. James Mitchell, a commodities trading and renewable energy expert, joins Stephen and Frank to discuss FinOps financial language. He draws parallels between cloud computing and electricity economies, offering insights into future trends. The conversation explores market differences and the need for finance-engineering collaboration. James decodes cloud vendors' technical jargon, revealing financial roots. "Savings plans" and "reserved instances" are actually forward contracts. The discussion then shifts to unit economics' universal applicability across industries. Optionality and flexibility emerge as key considerations in cloud pricing. The hosts emphasize managing commitments like a financial portfolio for optimal outcomes. This approach bridges the gap between technical and financial perspectives in cloud operations. Key takeaways: Understanding financial language and communicating with finance professionals is crucial in FinOps. One can apply the concept of isomorphic economies to the cloud market to gain insights into its evolution and economics. Regulating the global cloud computing industry is challenging due to its global nature and lack of a competent authority. Better communication between finance and engineering teams is essential in FinOps. Building bridges between finance and engineering teams is crucial for effective communication and collaboration. A common language and understanding of financial terms is beneficial for both teams to work together effectively. Unit economics is a fundamental concept in finance and can be applied to various industries. Considering optionality and flexibility in pricing strategies is crucial for optimizing cost efficiency. Managing commitments as a portfolio can lead to better financial outcomes.…

Send us a text An episode about FinOps in 2023. What are the themes that shaped FinOps and Cloud? What events, big or small, are defining what we will see in 2024? We talk about client behaviour and why repatriation is a thing. We dive into the strategic decisions made by cloud vendors in 2023 and their impact on the market, including price increases, and changes in products. We cover the incredible progress of FinOps and the FinOps Foundation in 2023. And, as everyone else, We talked about AI (a little). The ending is a hopeful prediction that sustainability will take off in 2024. We (Frank Contrepois and Stephen Old) needed some help, so we called in the incredibly knowledgeable Lucas Partore to provide some credibility :)…

WNiCF - Interview with Anthony Monthe - The cloud benchmarker 33:33

Send us a text Cloud vendor announces new instance types every month, and the content of the announcement is always the same: "The new instance is faster, shinier and cheaper than the previous one." But is it true? And what about other instances in the same generation but with different CPU vendors? Anthony tests it all. He checks every new instance appearing in one of the 200 (yes, that is two hundred) cloud vendors he follows and shares the data on Cloud Mercato. In this episode, Stephen and I have discovered many new things, smashed some assumptions and enjoyed the power of data. Some links connected with the episode: AMD versus Intel in the latest AWS generation: AWS M7i & M7a Is the new AWS R7zi so much better than the non-z version? What is the difference between the M7i vs M7i-flex…
