Architecting an Optimal FinOps Platform
summary
Claims a platform-first FinOps blueprint that moves beyond reports to automated remediation, showing typical orgs waste ~30% of cloud spend and that accelerators like Kubecost and ProsperOps recover only the first tranche. Describes a stack with observability, tagging, pipelines and a sustainability API (example: Cloud Carbon Footprint), five principles (data democratization, pipeline management, org alignment, sustainability, operating model) and an API-first design driving automated governance, composability and replaceability to unify Finance, Product and Technology.
