Track 2

Kubernetes creates valuable efficiencies for agencies seeking to simplify application deployment, management, and scaling. It also introduces complexities to cloud cost management, and that’s where FinOps shines. In this session, we’ll provide practical guidance that IT teams can use to implement FinOps in Kubernetes environments for better visibility into cloud spending, optimal resource utilization, and alignment of cloud investments with business and mission goals.

Federal agencies are experimenting with the FinOps model for cloud financial management, heightening the business value of cloud through a combination of systems, best practices, and culture. In this session, we’ll explore how IT leaders can implement FinOps innovations in phases, guided by six core principles aimed at optimizing and accelerating the cloud journey.

By implementing effective metric-driven cost optimization, government agencies can promote responsible resource management and enhance accountability. This session will examine how FinOps key performance indicators can help Federal agencies implement cloud unit economics, improving cost transparency and operational efficiency – and enabling agencies to align cloud costs with their mission critical objectives.
