Cloud infrastructure is easier than ever to provision, scale, and automate. But with that flexibility comes a growing challenge: who is responsible for the cost?

In this episode of DevOps Academy Deep Dive, we explore where FinOps and DevOps intersect, and why cloud economics is becoming an increasingly important part of modern engineering.

The conversation looks at how engineers can balance performance, reliability, and cost without turning FinOps into a simple cost-cutting exercise. We discuss unit economics, Kubernetes cost allocation, Infrastructure as Code, platform engineering, AI workloads, observability spending, and the role of automation in identifying cloud waste.
