Mastering Allocation of Cloud, Containers, and Beyond - Bala Kaliamurthy (Apptio Cloudability)

Accurate, complete allocation is critical to the “Inform” phase of FinOps, with the ability to deepen and expand as practices mature. It may start at the cloud bill, but the rising adoption of containers and third-party cloud applications are creating new allocation and chargeback challenges for practitioners to tackle.

In this session, we were joined by FinOps practitioners and container SMEs to learn how they hold teams financially accountable through a complete allocation of cloud provider costs, container costs, and non-provider cloud program costs. We heard firsthand how you can help engineers optimize this spend and consider how unit metrics can be applied to connect costs to the realized business value – no matter where you are in your FinOps journey.
