FinOps Fix: The Automation Clinic
What is FinOps Fix
about
FinOps Fix is a monthly automation clinic for FinOps leaders, platform engineers, and DevOps teams operating at scale.
main focus
Each clinic focuses on one real FinOps problem and breaks down how teams solve it in production through automation, across multi-account, multi-cloud environments.
Hands-on
This isn’t theory or best practices. It’s a working session that covers prerequisites, workflows, and design decisions that actually hold up in the real world.
Who It’s For
FinOps Teams
Enforcing ownership, policy, and accountability
Platform and DevOps Teams
Embedding FinOps into engineering workflows
Engineering Leaders
Responsible for cloud efficiency at scale
FinOps Fix shows how FinOps policies become real, automated workflows in production.
Upcoming Clinics
Fix It or Flag It: Automating Idle Resource Cleanup at Scale
Idle resources are the slow leak that kills cloud budget. Easy to find, surprisingly hard to act on. Whether it’s forgotten dev clusters, unattached volumes, or zombie workloads, the challenge isn’t just detection, it’s closing the loop.
Do We Still Need This? Automating RDS Cleanup with Data-Driven Triage
Underutilised RDS workloads are easy to ignore, hard to clean up. A little traffic, a few connections, just enough doubt to leave them running. The problem isn’t detection, it’s building the confidence and automation to actually act.
The MSP Gap: Automating Extended Support in Managed Cloud Environments
MSPs and central platform teams often face the same problem: they’re accountable for cloud efficiency, but don’t have hands-on access to customer workloads. So how do you enforce policies, reduce waste, and act on alerts when you’re not in control?

Who Owns This?: Automating Cloud Ownership Mapping at Scale
Ownership isn’t just a tagging problem, it’s the foundation for every FinOps workflow. In large, multi-account environments, mapping cloud spend to real teams and cost centers breaks fast and silently.
