Cloud cost reduction isn’t the endgame, it’s the starting point. As organizations scale in the cloud, the conversation must evolve from “How much are we spending?” to “What value are we generating?” This session will help you reframe the FinOps journey from tactical savings to strategic impact.
Join Harness as we explore the most common challenges holding teams back (unallocated spend, idle resources, and wasted commitments) and how they’re being addressed with data-driven automation and intelligent orchestration. You’ll learn how to align finance, engineering, and business stakeholders around shared accountability for cloud value, not just cloud bills.
We’ll also share a glimpse into what’s next for FinOps maturity: autonomous optimization and “Zero Drift” operations, where environments continuously align with policy, budget, and performance expectations.
Key Takeaways:
FinOps isn’t about cutting spend, it’s about creating value. Learn how to connect engineering decisions to business outcomes and move beyond cost-cutting cycles.
Automation unlocks efficiency at scale. Explore how AutoStopping and orchestration eliminate idle resources and optimize cloud usage.
Leadership alignment is the ultimate FinOps multiplier. Discover how to foster shared accountability across finance, engineering, and product teams.
