FinOps
Connect technology consumption with accountable engineering decisions.
Cost information becomes more useful when it can be connected to workloads, services, environments and the teams that influence them. FinOps brings financial and technical perspectives together so that organizations can explain consumption, assign responsibility and judge possible changes against the needs of the service.
From cost data to a decision
An increase in spending may come from growth, a new workload, an inefficient configuration or a gap in attribution.
Full context
An increase in spending may come from growth, a new workload, an inefficient configuration or a gap in attribution. CodeAttest examines the available cost and usage information with the technical context needed to distinguish these causes. The analysis can cover cloud and Dynatrace consumption, allocation, optimization, forecasting and governance. Data quality and ownership are part of the assessment because an apparently precise number can still lead to a poor decision.
Cloud FinOps focuses on cloud workloads and their costs. Dynatrace FinOps examines observability consumption and its engineering value. Managed FinOps provides continuing analysis and coordination when a one-time review is insufficient.
Capabilities that make the work repeatable
Cost allocation connects consumption to owners and services.
Full context
Cost allocation connects consumption to owners and services. Cost optimization examines technically viable changes. Forecasting uses explicit demand assumptions, while FinOps governance establishes responsibilities and review practices. These capabilities support the services and can be combined according to the customer's data and operating model.
FinOps is an ongoing decision practice, not a promise to reduce every cost. A useful recommendation makes the expected effect, technical constraints and measurement approach visible to the people who will act on it.
