Enterprises are set to waste $44.5 billion on needless cloud spending this year - the growing disconnect between FinOps and engineering teams is a key factor
Briefly

According to Harness, enterprises may waste up to $44.5 billion in cloud spending this year because of a rift between engineering and FinOps teams, with 21% of spending deemed wasted. A majority of engineers identified the lack of collaboration between them and FinOps as a primary cause, with many developers ignorant of cost management. Despite a willingness to improve cost efficiency, most lack proper tools and visibility, underlining the need for a culture shift towards mutual accountability in cloud financial management.
Enterprises are projected to waste up to $44.5 billion in cloud spending this year due to a disconnect between engineering and FinOps teams.
