SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show and back to the show. Gary, tell us about your background and what areas you focus on at Google Cloud these days. 

Topic 2 - Let’s begin by talking about language, specifically the gaps in language (and understanding) between engineering teams and finance teams. What works today and where are the biggest gaps and challenges?

Topic 3 - One of the challenges of Cloud billing, and hence FinOps, is the 100s or 1000s or line-items. What are they for? How are they changing? What are some of the things/tools out there to make sense of all of this spend? (e.g. visualization, tagging, etc.)

Topic 4 - We’re all familiar with budgeting (pre-activity) and complaints about project/cost overruns (post-activity), but what are some of the things happening mid-project, or on-going to avoid the surprises or overruns?

Topic 5 - How much of these on-going changes/tracking is done by the engineering teams and how much is being done by finance teams? 

Topic 6 - Can you share with us examples of how companies have evolved with good FinOps principles and hygiene in place?
