Frequently Asked Questions

Cloud Cost Management vs. FinOps—where's the difference?

Cloud cost management (CCM) is all about monitoring, measuring and optimizing cloud ROI. The goal is to achieve full visibility into cloud costs while keeping services running smoothly—and spending only what’s necessary. FinOps takes this a step further. While cost savings are important, FinOps focuses on the bigger picture—analyzing how cloud costs impact every department and ensuring organizations get the most value from their investments.

What do CCM and FinOps have in common?

That’s why both CCM and FinOps prioritize efficiency. A key best practice? Shutting down idle compute instances and eliminating those that don’t drive business value. This simple step can lead to significant savings—without sacrificing performance.

What is cloud spend management?

Cloud spend management involves the processes and tools used to monitor, analyze and control the costs associated with cloud computing. It aims to ensure that cloud resources are utilized efficiently, helping organizations avoid overspending while maximizing cloud investments.

Why is cloud cost management so difficult?

Cloud cost management is challenging due to the complexity and dynamic nature of cloud environments. The decentralized nature of cloud resource provisioning can lead to shadow IT and unmonitored costs.
