OpenOps Overview

OpenOps is a No-Code FinOps automation platform. It provides customizable workflows to automate various FinOps processes, such as cost optimization, budgeting, forecasting, allocation, and tagging.

At the same time, OpenOps enables collaboration of FinOps teams with stakeholders like engineers, DevOps, finance and leadership. It is designed to reduce operational overhead while adapting to complex organizational tooling, business processes, and policies.

OpenOps integrates with public cloud providers, third-party FinOps visibility tools, and a wide range of other tools such as collaboration and ticketing services, telemetry systems, and databases.

OpenOps is available both as a paid managed service and as a free distribution that you can deploy on premises.

Why OpenOps?

OpenOps addresses typical challenges for FinOps practitioners:

1. Visibility in cloud environments isn’t enough. Automation is necessary to ensure end-to-end action and adherence to organizational policies.
2. Automating with internal tools is often inefficient and unsustainable.
3. Automating with off-the-shelf tools lacks flexibility.

While traditional FinOps visibility tools are great at surfacing optimization opportunities, they:

• Don’t facilitate collaboration between stakeholders in the engineering organization.
• Don’t help decide if a flagged resource is actually wasteful or is in fact mission-critical.
• Don’t allow implementing opportunities with confidence.

As a result, visibility tools tend to generate false positives and introduce noise. FinOps practitioners find themselves struggling to engage engineers, often facing organizational resistance.

Existing off-the-shelf automation tools are way more sustainable and scalable than custom-built automations, but they often lack flexibility when it comes to tailoring automations to the needs of a specific organization.

OpenOps aims to hit the sweet spot by being an integrated tool that:

• Consolidates optimization opportunities from native and third-party FinOps visibility tools.
• Knows and suggests ways to apply optimizations.
• Enables easily customizing pre-made optimizations and authoring your own.
• Keeps humans in the loop when deciding which optimizations should be applied.
