London DevOps #79.1 - Save Cash and Carbon (Graham Zabel @ Devoteam)

Too often, enterprise scale business leaders are misled into thinking that their rising cloud costs can be solved using only the standard FinOps practices. These techniques are a great starting point, however they generally only focus on directly affecting the spend items showing up in the billing, leaving all the indirect causes unaddressed. This creates a situation where businesses think they are solving their Cloud spend problem, when in reality the biggest problems have not been measured or addressed.
