Is FinOps the same in every organisation? Absolutely not! It varies massively by organisation but also by sector.  This month Frank and Steve catch up with long time friend of Frank's (and new time friend of Steve) Marit Hughes.

Marit brings her expansive knowledge and experience to help bring some colour to the differing challenges of FinOps in private sector and public sector as well as discussing that Enterprises in terms of how they act, often live somewhere in between!

A fantastic episode with our friend Deana Solis, a senior FinOps Engineer who is heavily involved in the FinOps Foundation and Women in FinOps. She tells the story of "Woman" in FinOps and also her career in general.

A really down to earth individual, Deana lets us in to the realities of her journey and why the linear career isn't the most interesting!

This 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.

Stephen and Frank dive into the latest news from FinOps in February, as well as a bit of a discussion on Azures FX changes that have increased customers pricing.

We also look at the changes to Azure RIs.

Actually as a whole there's a lot less AWS on this episode and quite a lot more Azure and GCP! Well worth a listen.

Hello 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.

We're joined by our good friend Tom Cross at Air Lingus, who talks to us about the challenges of FinOps in reality.  

Tom helps us talk through the challenges of trying to keep FinOps in mind during the migration and why it so easily can drop down the agenda.

This is a slightly different episode where we very informally talk about the realities of the job!

We hope you enjoy!
