#GraphThat Episode 4: FinOps | Amazon Web Services

If you aren’t familiar with the #GraphThat series, we take public data sets and convert them to a graph model optimized for Amazon Neptune. Amazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, fully managed database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that rely on highly connected data sets. In episode 4, we explore how graph databases can transform your FinOps practices. If you’re wrestling with cloud cost management, trying to understand complex resource relationships, or looking to make more data-driven decisions about your cloud spending, this session is for you. We’ll start by breaking down what FinOps really means – and no, it’s not just about cutting costs. Then we’ll explore why graph databases are particularly well-suited for FinOps, drawing some interesting parallels with cybersecurity solutions. I’ll show you how many of the same data sources and relationship-based approaches that have revolutionized the cybersecurity market can bring new insights to your cloud financial management.

In late 2023, I wrote a blog for the AWS Databases Blog describing some of these techniques for improving the state-of-the-art in Cloud FinOps, and numerous FinOps teams expressed disappointment that the paper was only conceptual and there was no software implementing these techniques, so I’m taking it to the next level in this video and will demonstrate the data you need and expand on the techniques I covered in that blog. Whether you’re just starting your FinOps journey or looking to take your existing practices to the next level, you’ll come away with actionable insights and practical steps to begin implementing these concepts in your organization.
