About this event
Join us for an interactive workshop and dive deep into running a FinOps cloud spend operation with Apptio on AWS and hear how to optimize your FinOps journey.

Who should attend?
Engineers, DevOps teams, FinOps practitioners, those involved in cloud purchasing, cloud architects, and infrastructure teams interested in getting more transparency into their cloud spending in AWS environments, adjusting cloud usage to fit their needs, planning for future use, and understanding how cloud costs impact their business.

What to expect?
You will be in the driver’s seat for a guided, interactive experience to help you take your FinOps practice to the next level. We will cover techniques for tracking and planning your cloud expenses across different AWS services, including Amazon EC2, RedHat OpenShift on AWS, and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service.

You will learn how to:
  • Track and understand your total cloud expense using the latest billing data.
  • Create reports that show complete cloud service costs and usage.
  • Methods to combine your company’s data with AWS usage data to get a clearer picture of your spending, set-up alerts, and make well-informed recommendations.
  • Techniques to spot and address sudden increases in cloud service use and costs, helping you avoid unexpected charges.
  • Strategies for detailed tracking and management of container-based expenses.
  • Setting up automatic adjustments and fixes to improve cloud service performance.
