Scaling FinOps Governance: Win Now and Win Long Term
Agenda / Scaling FinOps Governance: Win Now and Win Long TermBreakout
FinOps is only sustainable when policy and governance drive real behavior change. Usage optimization—or cloud waste reduction—shouldn’t be a biannual spring cleaning exercise. Instead, it must be part culture shift, part policy governance, and part engineering enablement.
In this session, we’ll explore how to build a culture of “win now” by targeting easy, high-impact savings, while systematically reducing Mean Time to Savings (MTTS) through sustainable policy governance, automation and timely engineering engagement. We’ll share real-world examples of how to drive continuous optimization and behavior change amongst engineering teams by focusing on smarter allocation strategies, automated policy enforcement, and shifting left to prevent inefficiencies. You’ll also learn about innovative engineering engagement programs—like “compute challenges”—that incentivize action at scale using automation, AI-augmented insights, and the right internal programs to embed FinOps into daily workflows.
