Cloud services like Microsoft Azure may lead to higher costs due to their ease of access and the lack of a clear billing structure across different departments. Without proper management and oversight, such as a designated Azure manager, expenses can quickly escalate. Crucially, Azure optimization requires continuous effort and a deep understanding of available management tools and practices.
To address this, many organizations are turning to certified partners like SHI that specialize in FinOps to help reduce costs through better visibility, streamlined financial operations, and effective cost control and allocation. This approach is particularly beneficial for organizations using multiple public cloud platforms.
