Cloud environments are dynamic and continuously evolving. Without ongoing cost control, organizations often experience unexpected spending, resource inefficiencies, and lack of visibility into cloud usage.
Azure Cost Optimization (FinOps) focuses on continuously monitoring, managing, and optimizing cloud costs as part of daily operations, ensuring that Azure environments remain efficient, controlled, and aligned with business usage.
FinOps is a discipline that combines financial management, operations, and engineering to continuously optimize cloud spending while maintaining performance and scalability
