What is #FinOps? This is a question I hear a lot when engaging with SCC customers. If you want to learn more please join SCC and Apptio, an IBM Company at Great Scotland Yard Hotel to understand how you and your organisation can optimise your cloud spend, reduce your carbon footprint and in turn improve your EBIT. #finops #greenops #ITAM #cloudoptimisation #netzero #carbonfootprint #sustainability #costoptimisation

As 'cloud' costs spiral upwards, FinOps has become one of the most significant tools in an IT Department's kitbag to ensure that resources are not being wasted on idle cycles or out-of-date virtual machines. Come and join us at this event to see how you could save around 30% of your cloud costs this year ...

To use an authorization service you’ve traditionally had to synchronize all authorization-relevant data to it. But syncing is hard. To solve this problem, we launched Distributed Authorization — a new way to handle shared permissions data. Wed, May 8 at 2pm EDT we're hosting a talk on what distributed authorization means, how to use it, and how we built it. Join us! You'll hear from Oso cofounder/CTO Sam Scott + Oso engineer Vijay Ramamurthy on: - How to integrate Oso across multiple services using distributed authorization -The internals of distributed authorization, like how our logic language for declaratively configuring authorization (Polar) works + How we run and evaluate Polar across multiple databases https://lu.ma/m8hdup7c

Our new webinar on the migration from Ingress to Gateway API will be published on the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) YouTube channel tomorrow.

This week, all eyes for managing cloud costs are on #FinOps X, which will be in San Diego from Wednesday to Friday this week. I’ll be on the ground catching up with many of your and my favorite vendors and having some great conversations with current clients. My coverage there will probably be a little bit different than usual, as this event is very end user focused with a premium on end user privacy. This means I won’t be able to directly cover the keynotes or interview any end users. But there will still be plenty to analyze between vendor announcements, and updates on FinOps standards such as FOCUS as well as the FinOps Foundation’s recent shift to include #SaaS within cloud FinOps. As you all know, I’ve also been covering SaaS management for the past six years and it is very different from #publiccloud FinOps, which I’ve covered for the past 10 years: different buyers, different strategies, and different functional areas. It will be interesting to see how the FinOps Foundation structures associated with shift left and technical support of cloud FinOps align with the line of business and procurement focus that SaaS management has been pulled towards.
