OpsLyft

FinOps isn't just about tracking costs—it’s about driving business value through real-time insights and automation. At OpsLyft, we've helped companies transform their cloud cost management from a reactive process into a proactive, data-driven discipline. How are you integrating FinOps beyond cost reporting in your organization? #finops #opslyft #cloudcostmanagement

FinOps is more than dashboards. While GCP’s FinOps Hub offers visibility, real cost efficiency needs automation, anomaly detection, and actionable insights. Can cloud-native tools go deep enough, or do enterprises need more? #gcp #googlecloud #finopshub #nativetools #finops

Reserved Instance (RI) and Savings Plan (SP) reselling has been a popular cost-saving strategy, but its future as a standalone business model is becoming uncertain. Cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP are closing pricing gaps with more flexible commitment options, making third-party arbitrage less valuable. Enterprises now negotiate custom deals directly, while startups often lack the scale to benefit significantly from resellers. At the same time, the shift toward real-time cloud cost optimization is changing how businesses manage their spending. Instead of relying on pre-purchased commitments, companies prioritize automated cost management, intelligent scaling, and financial transparency. With cloud providers tightening control over RI/SP trading and AI-driven workloads demanding more flexibility, the focus is moving away from rigid savings plans to dynamic optimization strategies. The companies that adapt—offering real-time insights, automated commitment management, and proactive cost-saving recommendations—will stay relevant. The future of FinOps isn’t just about securing discounts; it’s about continuous, intelligent cost efficiency. #RI #savingsplan #discounts #finops #devOps #costefficiency #opslyft #cloudsavings #aws #gcp

ERP systems like SAP, Oracle NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 are the backbone of financial operations for enterprises- tracking revenue, expenses, payroll, and procurement. But when it comes to cloud cost visibility, they often fall short. For companies running on AWS, Azure, or GCP, understanding cloud spend at a granular level remains a challenge: ?? Which teams, applications, or projects are driving costs? ?? How should shared and untagged resources be allocated? ?? Are there cost anomalies or optimization opportunities in real time? While ERP systems provide a consolidated view of IT spend, they don’t break down cloud expenses at a granular level—which is exactly where FinOps comes in. The ability to link cloud costs to business outcomes—allocating them across teams, products, and revenue streams—is what makes cloud financial management effective. At OpsLyft, we’ve been working on bridging this gap by integrating deep cost allocation, real-time anomaly detection, and AI-driven optimization with existing financial workflows. For enterprises relying on ERPs but struggling with cloud cost visibility, adding a FinOps layer can change the game. Curious to hear how others are approaching this! #ERP #finops #finance #profitability #cloud #cloudcostmanagement

Solving Cloud Cost Allocation with OpsLyft ? The Challenge A leading cybersecurity company with a multi-cloud setup (AWS and Azure) was struggling to manage untagged resources. This led to cloud cost allocation issues, with significant expenses going unaccounted for or misallocated, causing inefficiencies and lack of visibility into their cloud spending. ? Our Solution OpsLyft helped address this challenge by: Automatically identifying untagged resources across both AWS and Azure environments. Implementing custom allocation rules to ensure every resource, tagged or untagged, was properly allocated to business units and teams. Providing real-time visibility into cloud costs, empowering better decision-making. ? The Outcome This solution resulted in: Improved cost attribution accuracy, leading to better financial clarity. Reduced manual effort, freeing up time for more strategic initiatives. A more structured, transparent cloud cost management process, tightly aligned with business goals. We’re thrilled to have played a role in enhancing their cloud financial transparency and optimizing their resource allocation. #finops #cloudcostmanagement #realtimevisibility #ai #allocation

During a recent conversation with a startup, we learned that while many early-stage companies might not focus on cost allocation yet—observability remains a top priority. Understanding how resources are being used—whether it’s for scaling or optimization—is critical for these fast-growing businesses. Cloud asset management is a great use case here. By gaining full visibility into their cloud assets, startups can eliminate unused or underutilized resources, optimizing their spend and performance. At OpsLyft, we’re committed to helping businesses, whether large or small, gain the visibility they need to make smarter decisions and scale confidently. It’s always exciting to hear firsthand about the evolving priorities of companies at different stages of growth. What’s your take—how do you think startups should balance observability and cost management? #startups #finops #cloudcostmanagement

The Future of Cloud Cost Management: From SaaS to Agent-Based Models Satya Nadella recently underscored a pivotal shift in tech—the transition from traditional SaaS architectures to agent-based models. At OpsLyft, this isn’t just a concept we’re observing; it’s a transformation we’re preparing for and building towards in cloud cost optimization. So, what’s driving this shift? As businesses scale and cloud adoption accelerates, the way we manage costs must evolve. The future isn’t just about dashboards or manual interventions—it’s about AI-driven agents. These agents will seamlessly orchestrate cloud operations across platforms, offering real-time insights, automating workflows, and driving efficiency at every level. We’re enabling engineering and finance teams with AI-powered FinOps tools that go beyond tracking costs. We’re helping businesses achieve financial clarity, operational excellence, and scalability in an increasingly complex cloud environment. With its thriving developer ecosystem and entrepreneurial energy, India is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. We see immense potential for Indian companies to embrace AI in reimagining cloud cost management, setting benchmarks for innovation in the global tech landscape. For businesses navigating today’s challenges, this isn’t just a vision of the future—it’s already happening. By integrating AI automation and actionable insights into your cloud cost management strategy, you can unlock significant savings, optimize resource utilization, and build a future-ready cloud infrastructure. Let’s build the future of FinOps together. https://lnkd.in/grHc3e8N #AI #finops #saas #innovation #cloudcostmanagement #digitaltransformation

Here's an uncomfortable truth for cloud-first companies- Your shiny new AI workloads? They’re eating your cloud budgets alive. And it’s not just a snack; it’s a full-course meal. Here’s the math: In the old world of predictable cloud usage, for every $100 you spent, you got $90 worth of business value. You could forecast. You could optimize. You could sleep at night. Welcome to 2025, where AI is the new gold rush—and the mining tools are expensive. Your generative AI models are churning through compute power like there’s no tomorrow, storage bills are climbing with every dataset iteration, and GPUs? They’re hotter (and costlier) than ever. For every $100 spent now, a chunk vanishes into the black box of AI. “We’ll manage it,” you say. “It’s worth the ROI.” Here’s the catch: - That ROI only shows up if you can allocate these costs properly. - AI and Kubernetes are tangled in shared, untagged resources, making true visibility a nightmare. - Unoptimized workloads are quietly draining budgets, and by the time you notice, it’s too late. The result: - Blown budgets. - Shrinking profitability. - Pressure from investors who still expect growth without waste. Here’s the good news: The winners in 2025 won’t just build AI—they’ll master the FinOps to sustain it. - They’ll know exactly which AI workloads are worth the spend and which aren’t. - They’ll allocate every dollar of cloud cost to a team, project, or feature. - They’ll optimize in real time, ensuring business outcomes—not runaway expenses. At OpsLyft, we’ve seen it firsthand: The future of FinOps isn’t about cutting costs—it’s about enabling growth responsibly. So, here’s our question: What’s your AI really costing you, and do you have the visibility to manage it? Let’s make 2025 the year we align innovation with profitability. #aicosts #saas #costcutting #profitability #finops
