Send us a textThis month we're joined by our friend Bartosz Kupiecki, the Head of FinOps at IncreDevo.Their team saw the issue, and attacked it with an engineering mindset, building a tool to manage the process. In this podcast we learn about their journey and how they attacked the problem.We've all been there, we all know the pains, it's great to hear from someone who really attacked the problem and has felt the pains.

Send us a textHello everyone,This month we talk about everything that was new in January from the cloud vendors (which sadly wasn't loads) and go through the potential benefits or ramifications.We also discuss our addition of a new sustainability section and will work to find interesting articles on this topic too (beyond the cloud vendors).Apologies it's a bit late, between holidays and sick kids, we've been a bit delayed.

Send us a textFrank and Steve lament on trips to Vegas over the years, with Frank going to this year's Re:invent again in person.  We discuss our favourite bits of news (which was quite a lot) and you may notice that while in the Keynotes Sustainability was discussed a lot, not much comes across in the latest releases. We even have updates from Steve's favourite AWS service he'll never use and a lot more instance types than we can shake a stick at!Thanks for listening and please have a wonderful end of 2022!
