Cloud FinOps from first principles to a working practice, written for cloud engineers, architects, and the ops and finance people who get handed the bill. This 20 part series starts with what FinOps actually is, builds the allocation and visibility foundations everything else rests on, then works through rightsizing, commitments, storage, Kubernetes, serverless and AI spend, and finishes with the operating model, automation and maturity roadmap.
