Welcome to the first episode of Lucidity’s Cloud Storage Show! In today's discussion, we delve into the dynamic world of Enterprise and FinOps, exploring how industries have progressed on this journey and who's lagging. We explore the pivotal moment post-migration when companies prioritize cloud cost optimization. However, obstacles persist, with MSPs, conflicting KPIs and traditional mindsets at the C-level impeding FinOps adoption.

We outline the foundational steps of building a FinOps practice—Crawl, Walk, and Run—emphasizing the integral role of a comprehensive FinOps framework in contrast to Cloud Cost Optimization (CCO). Looking ahead, we evaluate the state of CCO after two years, observing widespread adoption of low-hanging fruit strategies but only half embracing FinOps practices. The discussion delves into the remediation phase, emphasizing the need for niche tools like Lucidity for effective optimization.

The episode concludes with a glimpse into the future of AI tools in the FinOps landscape, pondering their evolving role in cloud optimization. Join us as we navigate the complexities of Enterprise and FinOps in the digital era.
