How to Automate FinOps Workflows for Faster, Smarter Decisions

FinOps is all about making informed decisions and taking action—but without automation, workflows can be slow, inconsistent, and reactive. Automating FinOps workflows ensures that cost optimizations, policy enforcement, and governance actions happen quickly and efficiently.

In this session, we’ll explore practical strategies for introducing automation into FinOps workflows, enabling faster response times, greater consistency, and better financial and operational outcomes. Learn how to design structured processes that trigger timely actions—whether preventing inefficiencies before they happen or resolving issues as soon as they arise. We’ll discuss different levels of automation, from simple notifications to fully automated remediations, and how to implement them effectively to enhance your FinOps practice.
