How to Gain Control of Your Cloud Costs

Webinar Series | Oct. 7 & Nov. 4
Cloud costs keep rising—but most companies still struggle to understand where the money goes.

The USU FinOps Journey: How to Gain Control of Your Cloud Costs—Including AI

Cloud costs keep rising and AI spend is making it even harder to keep up. Traditional FinOps metrics weren't built for tokens.

At USU, we faced the same challenge and built a new playbook. In this two-part live webinar series we share how we tackled the shift to AI-driven spending and how we went from cloud cost chaos to clarity.

We share our real FinOps journey

Special Guest: In our second webinar, we're joined by Markus Döpke, Solutions Architect from AWS to bring in an industry-wide perspective.

Webinar I: What Is FinOps and Why Does It Matter?
October 7, 10-10.45 AM EDT |  4-4.45 PM CEST

Webinar II: How To Measure and Optimize Cloud Costs With FinOps (featuring AWS)
November 4, 10-10.45 AM EST | 4-4.45 PM CEST

How to Gain Control of Your Cloud Costs

Your takeaways

Stop Reporting Costs. Start Proving Value.

You'll learn how to create transparency across engineering, finance and leadership and connect your cloud spending to real business value, not just a dashboard number that tells you what you spent.

The Hidden Cost of Every AI Feature

Practical insights on building FinOps KPIs for your spend, including AI (aka Tokenomics) so you can track the variable cost of every LLM-powered feature before it becomes a budget surprise.

AWS Weighs In: Real-World FinOps

In the second webinar, our technology partner AWS joins the conversation to share additional perspectives and lessons learned from FinOps teams navigating AI spend across many organizations.

This series is ideal for

  • FinOps Managers and FinOps Practitioners

  • Cloud Architects & Cost Managers

  • IT Directors and IT Managers

If you want practical insights—not theory—this series is for you.
