Explain the WHY behind cost optimization is key to making developers care about it. Cloud operations teams can't rely on just implementing analysis/optimization tools and expecting engineers to implement changes without a clear narrative on the value of cost optimization. A clear explanation of why optimizing cloud costs is important, such as removing waste via smart money management and good hygiene practices, helps devs understand the importance of FinOps. Building visibility into cost drivers with tagging allows teams to allocate costs to specific resources, making it easier for engineers to make informed decisions about cost-effectiveness. Investing in real-time monitoring and alert mechanisms ensures that teams can catch and prevent costly mistakes, such as running an instance longer than needed or failing to turn off a job. Implementing automation solutions takes these tasks off the plate of individual engineers, allowing them to focus on their core work without having to worry about cloud expenses.
