FinOps
The practice/culture of cost accountability — tagging resources by team/feature, cost dashboards, budget alerts.
Why we need this / what value this brings
Cost accountability by team/feature turns 'the bill went up' into 'the AI chat feature's usage went up', which is actually actionable.
When to use this
Once more than one person/feature area is contributing to cloud spend independently.
How to use or implement this
Tag resources by feature/team from creation, and review a cost dashboard on a regular (e.g. monthly) cadence.
Research questions
