Closing Keynote: Are You Ready to Own the Board?
summary
A practial account of FinOps maturity: a launched product lost ~90% of margin to cloud costs, engineers must own cost tradeoffs, and predictable wins come from automation not memos. Shows 30-40% unused dev/test instances reclaimed by predictive auto stopping, embeds Cloud Custodian policies for non-programmers, and uses AI recommendations to tune Kubernetes and detect anomalies. Works best when visibility (perspectives, unit cost) feeds CI/CD guardrails so deployments fail fast on budget breaches.
