We invited Michel Zitman on to talk about Cloud Financial Management. Shorthand: FinOps. Some of the topics we cover this episode, in order: ☑️ Cloud financial management - FinOps explained ☑️ How Cloud Cost inefficiency occurs in the first place ☑️ FinOps as a skill ☑️ Where most Cloud Costs occur, and how to reduce those costs ☑️ Big chunks of optimizations already, and much more when looking ahead   My favourite quotes from Michel this episode: - "Awareness increases accountability, which in turn increases awareness." - "Turn off your cloud resources when you don't use them, just like how you would turn off the lights when you leave home."   Enjoy!
