We hosted a webinar all about GenAI—what it takes to build, scale, and succeed with it. Now, we’re breaking it down into a series of bite-sized clips to share what we learned. Where do you start when tackling something as vast and rapidly evolving as GenAI? For Yotascale, it began with curiosity and experimentation. In this clip, Jeff Harris, Director of Strategy and Operations, shares how we approached the challenge of understanding this transformative technology. Here’s how we got started: - We spun up a small, agile team to explore the AI landscape, from API models to self-hosted options and fine-tuning. - With no “experts” to consult in this nascent space, we embraced experimentation and hands-on learning to figure out what worked for our needs. - We surveyed the options, and prioritized solutions that aligned with our capabilities and goals, allowing us to move quickly without overcomplicating things. Our takeaway? Start small, stay agile, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Understanding the technology is the first step toward finding the right fit for your product. How did your team take its first steps into GenAI? Let us know in the comments! #AI #GenAI #TechInnovation #ProductDevelopment

The third rule of cloud cost management: lead with effective #CostGovernance. Cost governance is crucial for ensuring that agility in cloud operations does not come at the expense of budget control. For #FinOps teams and finance departments, the challenge lies in leveraging the cloud effectively while managing costs and achieving a strong return on investment. Key aspects of cost governance include: - Chargeback and Showback: Make sure teams are aware of their spending by implementing chargeback or showback mechanisms. This transparency helps in maintaining budget control. - Regular Communication: Establish regular meetings with leadership to ensure cost governance remains a priority. Aligning finance and engineering teams is essential for effective communication and cost management. - Alignment of Terminology: Finance and engineering often use different terms (e.g., cost center codes vs. application names). Finding common ground and understanding each other's language is important for optimizing costs effectively. - Analyzing Cost Anomalies: For example, NextRoll demonstrates effective cost governance by having engineers respond to anomaly alerts, while finance assesses whether these anomalies are temporary or long-term changes. This process helps in understanding the impact of various factors on costs. Incorporating a tool like Yotascale can support these governance efforts by aiding in budgeting, forecasting, and ensuring proper cost allocation. Collaboration between engineering and finance teams is key to quick responses and accurate forecasting, ultimately leading to better cost management.
