OpenOps is built for FinOps practitioners: engineers, architects, analysts and managers. It’s a No-Code tool and is therefore approachable for practitioners without an extensive technical background. However, it still allows you to “drop into” code whenever you need to. Here’s a rundown of the major features and benefits that OpenOps provides:
  • A pre-made library of FinOps best-practice workflows based on research and input from hundreds of FinOps leaders. The workflows cover various FinOps processes like cost optimization, tagging, budgeting, allocation, and reporting.
  • Building workflows from scratch or customization of the pre-made workflows to fit your organization’s needs using a No-Code workflow editor based on Activepieces.
  • Out-of-the-box integrations with major cloud providers, FinOps platforms, task and project managers, and other relevant tools. These include:
    • Managed databases: Amazon RDS, Azure SQL, Google Cloud SQL, Cloud Firestore.
    • Buckets and storage: Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage.
    • Data warehouses and analytics platforms: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery.
    • Cloud cost and optimization tools: Archera, AWS Compute Optimizer, Azure Advisor, CloudFix, CloudHealth, Cloudability, CloudZero, Finout, Flexera, Flexera Spot, Kion, Pelanor, Ternary, Umbrella, Vantage, Vega Cloud.
    • Communications: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord.
    • Task and project management tools: Jira Cloud, Monday.com, Notion, Asana, Trello, Linear, ServiceNow, Zendesk.
    • Version control and IaC: GitHub, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager.
  • AI assistance to help generate CLI commands, SQL queries, and custom code using an LLM provider of your choice: OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and many others.
  • Test runs on every step of workflow editing, workflow version control, and detailed traceability of every workflow run to make sure that your workflow definitions and runs are reliable.
  • Human-in-the-Loop mechanisms to enforce control over critical optimizations. Before running deletions or scale-downs, you can make sure to get oversight and approval from stakeholders using notifications with quick action buttons.
  • Tables to log opportunities and anomalies in a central location, with options to approve, dismiss, mark as false positive, or snooze. You can also use tables to process billing data, map resources to owners, or generate spend reports.
  • Analytics to build charts and dashboards based on data in OpenOps tables or your existing data sources, such as CSV files, Google Sheets, Postgres databases, and more.
