What is FinOps?
FinOps (cloud financial operations) is the practice of bringing finance, technology and business teams together to manage cloud costs and value. The FinOps Foundation framework describes three phases: Inform (visibility and allocation), Optimize (reduce waste and rates) and Operate (continuous governance).

Azure FinOps FAQs
Common questions about Azure cost management.
How much can we save on Azure?
It depends on your environment. Common savings come from idle resources, right-sizing and reservations or savings plans. We estimate savings during the initial review.
What is the difference between Azure Reservations and savings plans?
Reservations give the largest discounts for a specific resource type and region. Savings plans give a smaller discount but apply flexibly across compute services.
What is Azure Hybrid Benefit?
A licensing benefit that lets you use existing Windows Server and SQL Server licences with Software Assurance or eligible subscriptions to reduce Azure costs.
Will cost optimization affect performance?
We size changes using real utilization data and test before applying, so performance and resilience are maintained.
Do you need write access to our subscriptions?
The review needs read access to cost and usage data. Implementation uses controlled, approved changes.
