What's new in Cloud FinOps?
Stephen Old and Frank Contrepois get together to discuss what's new in the world of cloud when it comes to FinOps. There are two monthly episodes, one where we'll discuss the top stories we've found from this month and a second episode where we bring in a friend of the show to talk to us about a topic of their choosing.
What's new in Cloud FinOps?
WNiCF - Interview with Anthony Monthe - The cloud benchmarker
Cloud vendor announces new instance types every month, and the content of the announcement is always the same: "The new instance is faster, shinier and cheaper than the previous one."
But is it true? And what about other instances in the same generation but with different CPU vendors? Anthony tests it all. He checks every new instance appearing in one of the 200 (yes, that is two hundred) cloud vendors he follows and shares the data on Cloud Mercato.
In this episode, Stephen and I have discovered many new things, smashed some assumptions and enjoyed the power of data.
