Cloud FinOps: Empower real-time decision making
summary
Shows a practical path from monthly billing chaos to minute-level action using VMware Aria / CloudHealth: collects costs via Describe APIs every ~15 minutes, processes 1.2 billion resources per day and watches ~$20B annual spend, runs anomaly detection multiple times a day with user training and Slack alerts, and offers per-application forecasting and budgets via Perspectives. Example: centralized custom CUR and normalized discounts convert coverage from ~30% to 70%, trading complexity for predictable engineering-facing rates.
