The FinOps guide to DevOps | Part 1: Cloud infrastructure concepts

The rise of cloud computing has revolutionized the way organizations deploy and manage applications. This led to the emergence of DevOps and FinOps as critical disciplines within modern IT environments. DevOps aims to streamline the development lifecycle and enable continuous, high-quality code delivery. To support that, DevOps engineers often own the cloud infrastructure – where cloud costs are generated.

The optimization imperative: Sustainably scale K8s in your IDP

It’s considered common practice for platform engineering teams to build their IDP to be a self-service product for developers. This means, among other things, building a dedicated team around it for upkeep and support, creating a roadmap for development, and coming up with metrics they can use to determine its success.

How to get more value from your cloud commitments

If you are familiar with the cloud, you already know that the big hyperscalers offer a set of pricing models that provide varying levels of flexibility and discounts. The most common models are On-Demand (OD), Commitments—such as Reserved Instances (RI), Savings Plans (SP), Committed Use Discounts (CUD), and preemptive instances like spot instances/spot VMs.
