What's new in Cloud FinOps?

Send us a textThis month Stephen and Frank are interviewing Dimitris Perdikou from the UK Home Office. The topic is Gamification, but, as often, it grew beyond its original scope. Dimitris made us feel good with the work done making sure taxpayer money is well spent. In the process, we discussed two new metrics for unit economics specific to the public sector.You can reach us at: podcast@finopsguys.com

Send us a textAn episode about FinOps in 2023. What are the themes that shaped FinOps and Cloud? What events, big or small, are defining what we will see in 2024?We talk about client behaviour and why repatriation is a thing. We dive into the strategic decisions made by cloud vendors in 2023 and their impact on the market, including price increases, and changes in products. We cover the incredible progress of FinOps and the FinOps Foundation in 2023. And, as everyone else, We talked about AI (a little). The ending is a hopeful prediction that sustainability will take off in 2024. We (Frank Contrepois and Stephen Old) needed some help, so we called in the incredibly knowledgeable Lucas Partore to provide some credibility :)

Send us a textAlee made what Stephen and I think is the best talk at FinOps X 2023. and we recommend you watch it before listening to the episode. The (kind of) driving topic is "What would have changed from the talk", but as usual, the episode is full of stories, comments, ideas and fun.

Send us a textCloud vendor announces new instance types every month, and the content of the announcement is always the same:  "The new instance is faster, shinier and cheaper than the previous one."  But is it true? And what about other instances in the same generation but with different CPU vendors? Anthony tests it all. He checks every new instance appearing in one of the 200 (yes, that is two hundred) cloud vendors he follows and shares the data on Cloud Mercato. In this episode, Stephen and I have discovered many new things, smashed some assumptions and enjoyed the power of data. Some links connected with the episode: AMD versus Intel in the latest AWS generation: AWS M7i & M7aIs the new AWS R7zi so much better than the non-z version?What is the difference between the M7i vs M7i-flex
