Using IBM Cloudability

Product owners also use it for reporting cost metrics to senior management. Daily usage fluctuates as most people rely on scheduled reports.
6 - The FinOps team is new and small function at our organisation currently. Primary skills required to be on the FinOps team which owns Cloudability is to have overall understanding of Cloud and FinOps. Team is comprised of Infrastructure engineers with a wide variety of technical skills like AWS, Cloud Administration, Automation and terraform. Knowledge of Billing and Finance. And project management.

Cloudability has been one solution for almost all of our FinOps needs. Except for Data transfer costs, we have covered all use cases and have made significant savings across our cloud infrastructure. Reporting has provided management a deeper analysis into their spending and helped them forecast their budgets for next year.
