Automated cost control

Implementing FinOps within a DataLake environment involves automated cost control measures such as setting spending limits, automating resource scaling, and enforcing budget compliance, reducing manual oversight and errors.

Efficient resource utilization

By analyzing data access and processing patterns, FinOps on DataLake ensures efficient allocation and utilization of resources. This minimizes wastage and enhances performance, making data operations more cost-effective.

Actionable financial analytics

One of our recent projects taught us that gathering actual cloud costs in large organizations can be challenging. Direct costs, internal services, and support teams all need to be reconciled to get a complete picture of our expenditures. Once we achieved this, we could identify the best opportunities to optimize usage, reducing both external and internal costs of infrastructure and related services.
