The FinOps Foundation defines FinOps as "an operational framework and cultural practice which maximizes the business value of cloud, enables timely data-driven decision making, and creates financial accountability through collaboration between engineering, finance, and business teams."  Sounds good! So why are many organisations still not doing it well?

This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Kunal Agarwal, CEO and Co-founder, Unravel Data on the requirement for finops, what is it and why do you need it, if the Finance Depts are getting involved, what good practices looking, how 'inform, govern, optimise' fit in and why you should measure everything!

The 'energy transition' refers to the global energy sector's shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption — including oil, natural gas and coal — to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, as well as lithium-ion batteries.  It is one of, if not the most, significant issues of our time.  Tech can both help and hinder in this journey.

This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Rob Easton, Senior Sales Manager, AWS Energy EMEA, AWS on how energy is made, how its moved and how its used, how Amazon are ready themselves as an organisation, but also how they are providing tools and services to allow other organisations to impact the carbon footprint of their tech and maybe more widely.

More than a decade into cloud, is cloud just a feature of the systems we build these days? What else might become features in the near future? 

SHOW: 784

CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotw

CHECK OUT OUR NEW PODCAST - "CLOUDCAST BASICS"

SHOW SPONSORS:

• Find "Breaking Analysis Podcast with Dave Vellante" on Apple, Google and Spotify
• Keep up to data with Enterprise Tech with theCUBE
• Datadog Synthetic Monitoring: Frontend and Backend Modern Monitoring
• Ensure frontend issues don’t impair user experience by detecting user-facing issues with API and browser tests with a free 14 day Datadog trial. Listeners of The Cloudcast will also receive a free Datadog T-shirt. 

SHOW NOTES:

IS THE CLOUD JUST A FEATURE NOW?

• On-demand pricing
• On-demand resources
• Someone else manages it for you
• API access to systems
• A wide breadth of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services

WHAT MIGHT BECOME A FEATURE OF MODERN SYSTEMS?

• DevOps becomes integrated Co-Pilots via LLMs
• FinOps gets built into the systems, like vMotion from VMware
• Pre-Testing, Pre-Planning gets built in (like System Initiative)
• Chaos engineering gets built-in
• Collaboration gets built-in
• The OS becomes like containers and gets deterministic
• Upgrades are built-in
• Training, Docs, Examples are built-in

LESSONS LEARNED

• The cross the chasm adoption isn’t just for a specific technology, it’s for bigger systems too
• Rarely does the new thing completely replace the old thing (mobile excluded)
• Innovation will need to continue to be creative (e.g. open source, pricing, etc.)
• “Failures” are usually just incremental steps

There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence, and specifically GenAI, has been one, if not the, most widely discussed and debated subjects of the year.  The question of AI ethics and how seriously to take the impact of AI on society is one of the biggest and most polarising questions of our time.

In this very special Christmas episode Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk about the ethical issues inherent in any technology use, which are specifically critical when it comes to AI, with Father Paolo Benanti, Professor of Ethics & Technology, Pontificia Università Gregoriana, Advisor in the Vatican and member of the Advisory Board to the General Secretary of the United Nations.  We also cover the incredible roles he has with the Vatican and UN, how he frames ethical use of AI and 'The Rome call for AI Ethics'.  We then talk about how the importance of understanding the challenges and risks of implementing AI.

Cyber has long been a top risk for businesses.  However, it is still often perceived as an IT or tech issue, rather than the existential risk to the business that it could be.  It is also likely that Cyber will continue to grow as an issue, and in complexity, as we enter the AI-age.

This week Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Simon Hodgkinson, ex-FTSE 100 CISO & Board and Executive Advisor, about the history of the Cyber threat, current threat levels and attack surfaces, sensible mitigations and what is missing in the conversation that Boards and senior teams are having about the Cyber risk.  They also talk about the top trends in the world of Cyber security in 2024.
