Understanding FinOps principles is one step. Identifying potential inefficiencies across a complex cloud estate can be more difficult.

In Lumen’s complimentary Cloud FinOps assessment, this is where we start:

  • Identify unused resources: paid‑for capacity that may no longer be in active use.
  • Assess idle instances: compute resources showing low levels of utilisation.
  • Review over‑provisioned instances: resources that may be larger than current workload requirements indicate.
  • Check orphaned resources: storage or services that may no longer be associated with an active workload or project.
  • Analyse data transfer costs: egress and cross‑region charges that may warrant further review.
  • Review reservation gaps: reserved capacity no longer matched to real use. 

The assessment goes beyond generic cost‑management advice, providing insights and recommendations informed by your cloud environment, usage patterns and business priorities.

Your takeaways

  • A maturity scorecard: an assessment of selected cloud cost management practices against identified industry benchmarks.
  • A hygiene summary: potential areas for further review, presented in a consolidated view.
  • A savings roadmap: potential optimisation opportunities, indicative savings estimates and areas where committed savings may apply.
  • A modernisation path: suggested next steps to support the development of cloud financial governance.

 

Suitable for

 

  • Static cloud organisations: potential optimisation opportunities can often be identified and prioritised, supported by governance to sustain improvements.
  • Growing cloud organisations: establishing ongoing FinOps practices can support cost visibility and governance as cloud estates expand and evolve.
