Implementing FinOps Strategies: Cloud Cost Management Across Enterprise Teams

Managing cloud costs at scale requires more than monitoring spend—it requires organization-wide alignment, shared accountability, and a maturing practice that bridges technical and business strategy. FinOps provides the framework and capabilities to make that possible. In this course, instructor Larry Advey outlines FinOps principles, capabilities, and best practices in depth, examining each through the lens of a fictitious enterprise scenario. Explore the perspectives of key personas across cloud roles—including architecture, engineering, and CloudOps—to understand how FinOps applies to each team and how to approach cross-functional conversations. Along the way, learn about enablement, communication, organizational models, alignment, and tooling, and create a maturity plan tailored to your organization's needs.
