1st Talk: Data-Driven FinOps: Transforming Cloud Costs into Business Value with Amazon QuickSuite
As cloud footprints grow, understanding and optimizing your AWS bill can quickly become an overwhelming task. Without the right visibility, organizations often face "bill shock" or struggle to identify exactly which workloads are driving up costs.

Join us for an in-depth session on FinOps on AWS, where we will explore how to turn raw billing data into actionable insights using the open-source AWS Cloud Intelligence Dashboards (CID) framework. We will focus specifically on the CUDOS and CORA dashboards, demonstrating how they empower engineering and finance teams to make data-driven infrastructure decisions.
Beyond just looking at the visualizations in Amazon QuickSight, we will pop the hood and walk through the underlying serverless architecture that makes this reporting possible at scale.
What You Will Learn:

• The FinOps Reality: A quick primer on cloud financial management and why granular visibility is the critical first step to stopping wasted spend.
• Exploring CUDOS: How to use the foundational CUDOS dashboard to drill down into resource-level granularity, uncover usage trends, and identify anomalies.
• Actionable Optimization with CORA: How the Cost Optimization Recommended Actions (CORA) dashboard aggregates data to help you easily track rightsizing, flag idle resources, and plan Graviton migrations.
• Under the Hood (The Architecture): A technical walkthrough of the data pipeline. We will explain how AWS Data Exports, Cost and Usage Reports (CUR 2.0), Amazon S3, Amazon Athena, and Amazon QuickSight work together to process massive billing datasets.
• Deployment Best Practices: Strategies for rolling this out across a multi-account AWS Organization securely.|
