Introduction to OpenOps
Features and Benefits
Key features and benefits of OpenOps
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: AWS Compute Optimizer, AWS Trusted Advisor, Azure Advisor, Anodot, Apptio, CloudHealth, Ternary.
- Communications: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord.
- Task and project management tools: Jira Cloud, Monday, Notion, Asana, Trello.
- Version control and IaC: GitHub, Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager.
- 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.
