Challenge
The client needed to closely monitor the Cloud Consumption of Azure subscriptions to avoid exceeding the budget during the migration phases.
Approach
To meet the customer's needs, we followed the FinOps Cycle, a methodological approach that aims to improve the financial management of IT resources, focusing on three main phases:
- Inform: in this phase, detailed data is collected on the consumption of IT resources
- Optimise: at this stage, an in-depth analysis is carried out to identify inefficiencies and savings opportunities
- Operate: having identified opportunities for optimisation, the allocation or reallocation of resources is carried out.
After identifying the current state of FinOps practices, a centralized operating model was defined, headed by the CIO, which performed due diligence on the workload to define its taxonomy with respect to the business and produced a unified report of all Azure subscriptions with possible areas for improvement. In the recurring optimization phase, inspired by the FinOps virtuous cycle (Inform, Optimise, Operate):
- regular reports are produced to determine cost trends, relation to budget and allocation to business units or application solutions
- optimization initiatives are identified and prioritized
- assess the impacts of changes and proceed with implementation and verification
- a maintenance strategy is established to sustain progress
