• Create transparency using cloud-native or 3rd party tools for cost allocation or optimization potential.
• Use your communication skills to interact with various stakeholders from the platform, product, and application teams.
• Develop FinOps blueprints and share your knowledge with colleagues.
• Design and deliver FinOps trainings, give conference talks, and create blog posts.
• Drive FinOps topic development and innovation within Reply and the FinOps Foundation.
