Conquer Cost Anomalies: A FinOps Approach to Smarter Savings

In this session, we’ll introduce Daily Average Cost (DAC)—a simple yet powerful metric that normalizes cost fluctuations by removing the impact of varying month lengths. We’ll demonstrate how breaking DAC down into rate and quantity for key resources like VMs and Storage enables FinOps teams to quickly identify whether cost changes are due to pricing shifts (rate) or usage spikes (quantity).
