Public Cloud is often touted as a cheaper option, but the bills we get in the mail can be long and convoluted. For better or worse, any dollar spent in the cloud is a result of an architecture decision. This talk will give attendees a firm understanding of the relationship between the architecture and the invoice and the key metrics to keep an eye on. We will cover: * What is FinOps and why is it important * Key metrics for measuring Cloud spend * Automating Cloud Invoices Using Python, a SQL database, and FaaS, we can build a pipeline that automatically retrieves our invoice, and populates a searchable table to derive insights such as our top 5 most used services and biggest growing services. Attendees with small developers account to large multi-account deployments will better understand the impact of their architecture on their wallet.
Cloud Economics or FinOps focuses on the efficiency of cloud architecture in performance per cost. It's a key topic for start-ups as they position themselves for growth and fundraising. It's important for engineers to understand how much thier resources actually cost, even as a solo developer. Engineering Team Leads and Architects will get the most out of this talk as we will go over how to derive key metrics that can provide context to Finance Teams. We will use functions-as-a-service and a python runtime to fetch a cloud invoice, import that data into a SQL database, and use that to get Month-over-Month and Year-over-Year reporting.
