As organizations scale their cloud adoption, managing cloud costs effectively has become one of the top priorities for IT, finance, and operations teams. The FinOps Foundation Certification by DevOpsSchool empowers professionals to bridge the gap between financial management and cloud technology, optimizing cloud spend while aligning financial decisions with business strategy.
What is FinOps and Why is It Essential?
FinOps, or Financial Operations, is a framework that combines financial, operational, and technical processes to help organizations manage, optimize, and report on cloud expenditures. Unlike traditional siloed approaches where finance and IT operate independently, FinOps promotes cross-functional collaboration to ensure transparency, accountability, and efficiency in cloud spending.

- Cost Optimization and Efficiency: Identifies wastage and enforces cost-saving practices without compromising agility or performance.
