FOCUS 1.2 is reshaping how FinOps teams normalize cloud billing data. This hands-on guide shows how to enable FOCUS exports on AWS Data Exports, Azure Cost Management, and GCP Billing Export, then query the unified schema with SQL to build true multi-cloud cost dashboards.
EBS volumes silently bleed money: orphaned volumes from terminated instances, gp2 disks that should have moved to gp3 years ago, and snapshot graveyards growing 5% per month. Cut your block storage bill 30-50% with concrete CLI commands, Terraform, and Lambda automation.
A practical 2026 guide to slashing AWS EKS compute costs with Karpenter v1: Spot-first NodePools, consolidation policies, disruption budgets, dual-pool patterns, and the YAML you can copy into production today.
A hands-on 2026 playbook to cut your Snowflake bill by 40-70%: fix auto-suspend, right-size warehouses, master partition pruning, tame Time Travel storage, and install resource monitors. Working SQL for every step.
A production-grade guide to migrating EC2, EKS, Lambda, and RDS from x86 to AWS Graviton4 in 2026 — compatibility checks, multi-arch Docker builds, Karpenter node pools, honest benchmarks, and stacking Graviton savings with Compute Savings Plans for 60%+ effective discounts.
A practical 2026 playbook for cutting observability spend on Datadog, New Relic, and Splunk — covering custom metrics, log volume, indexing tiers, APM hosts, and cardinality — with working code and real numbers.
Learn how to use Cloud Custodian to automate cloud waste cleanup across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Includes ready-to-deploy YAML policies for deleting unattached volumes, stopping idle instances, off-hours scheduling, tag enforcement, and multi-account governance.
Set up cloud cost forecasting and budget alerts across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Includes Terraform configs, Python forecast scripts, and FinOps best practices for accurate cost prediction in 2026.
Learn how to save up to 72% on cloud compute with commitment-based discounts across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Covers Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, CUDs, CLI commands, and multi-cloud commitment strategies.
Cut your non-production cloud spend by 60-70% using automated scheduling, scale-to-zero Kubernetes policies, and Terraform configurations across AWS, Azure, and GCP dev/test environments.
Your CI/CD pipeline might cost more than your production infrastructure. Cut GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and AWS CodeBuild costs by 70-90% using Spot instance runners, aggressive caching, and right-sizing — with working code you can deploy today.
Save 70–90% on cloud compute with spot instances across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Includes production-ready Terraform configs, Karpenter node pool strategies, and battle-tested interruption handling patterns.
