FinOps is no longer about explaining last month’s cloud bill. It is now informing all technology decisions — before the money is spent.
The last three years have been a rich time for experimenting with AI tools and models, but the finance team is coming for you. Do you know the cost of your AI sprawl? And are your engineers still leaving cloud instances running into the night?
Cost drift is when your infrastructure spending deviates from your planned or code-defined state. It’s a useful way to track unexpected spending, but it can also help drive better accountability and quality in software teams, especially when introducing more unpredictable AI-driven elements.
Learn alongside these FinOps Foundation members — in light of the astonishing results of the just-published State of FinOps 2026 — about how to promote an engineering culture of transparency and accountability for quality, efficiency, and velocity, down to the feature level.
In this panel, learn how:
- FinOps is shifting left and up, far beyond cloud cost to the full enterprise tech allocation
- A ‘zero drift’ culture bridges the gap between engineering and business teams
- To leverage automation and governance within the CI/CD pipeline for proactive cost management
- Visibility changes engineering behavior and empowers at the team level
