UPWARD, Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Takayuki Kaneki, hereinafter UPWARD)'s CTO, Yoshihiro Kadomukai, participated in the translation of "Cloud FinOps, 2nd Edition - Collaborative, Real-Time Cloud Value Decisions," which was published today, March 19th, by O'Reilly Japan, Inc.
This book is a Japanese translation of a comprehensive commentary written by the founders of the "FinOps Foundation*2," an organization under the Linux Foundation*1 and a central presence in promoting FinOps.
*1 The Linux Foundation is a global organization (headquartered in the United States) that supports the development of OSS by supporting OSS development communities and developers centered around Linux.https://www.linuxfoundation.org/
*2 The FinOps Foundation is a Linux Foundation project that supports individuals who practice cloud financial management through best practices, education, and standards. It collaborates with organizations such as the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and has a community of over 23,000 members from over 10,000 companies.
FinOps is an evolving cloud financial management discipline and cultural practice where engineering, finance, technology and business teams collaborate on data-driven spending decisions, enabling organizations to get the most business value from every cloud investment.
In recent years, as many companies actively utilize the cloud, interest in FinOps has grown as a framework for promoting the optimization of both cloud costs and business outcomes.
This book introduces the FinOps Foundation framework and its lifecycle (Inform, Optimize, Operate), and provides practices for comprehensive cloud cost optimization.
At UPWARD, we utilize cloud infrastructure from the three major vendors—Microsoft Azure, AWS, and GCP—to promote rapid and efficient development. To implement FinOps practices, we have built cost management dashboards for each cloud service and conduct daily monitoring. In addition to visualizing cloud costs for each product, we calculate product profitability by allocating shared costs, evaluate ROI, and promote cloud optimization by making informed decisions about cloud infrastructure enhancements.
UPWARD continues to implement FinOps for the three major cloud services and rapidly deliver products in the sales engagement service domain.
