Cloud Cost Governance

Just like having a beautiful and functional house isn’t enough, you also need a smart home system to manage its various aspects efficiently. This chapter of your FinOps journey is about establishing cloud cost governance, the smart home system for your cloud environment. Traditionally, managing the expenses of a house includes manually switching lights on and off—leaving the lights on all the time increases the electricity bill and wastes resources. Cloud cost governance automates these tasks, such as setting up smart lights that adjust based on time or occupancy.
