Mastering FinOps:
Tagging & Naming Conventions Summer Edition

Learn how to create tagging & naming conventions for your AWS, GCP & Azure. Get control of your company Cloud resources and reduce your bill.

Allocate your Cloud Costs with Company Tagging Policies and Naming Conventions

Are you throwing money away on cloud resources?

Do you struggle to understand where your cloud spending is going?

Welcome to the Mastering FinOps: Naming Conventions and Tagging Course.

Here, you’ll discover the secrets to efficient cloud cost allocation and resource management in AWS, GCP & Azure.

Without a solid tagging FinOps strategy, you’re likely facing:

  • Lack of standardization: Making it impossible to classify and manage your cloud resources effectively.
  • Inconsistent naming: Different teams using different names for the same resources, leading to chaos.
  • Human error: Increased mistakes in resource naming, causing misallocation and wasted spend.
  • Hidden costs: Difficulty in tracking and allocating costs to specific business units or projects.
  • Missed opportunities: Inability to leverage automation and policies for cost optimization.

What you’ll get out of this course

Understand how Naming Conventions Work & Their Role in FinOps

Using a naming convention for our cloud resources allows us to:

  • Infer additional information about the resource by its name
  • Simplify cloud resources management and inventory
  • Ensure consistency and standardization

Comprehend the benefits of tagging within FinOps:

  • Allows us to filter, classify and group cloud resources based on relevant terms
  • Enables cost visibility and cost allocation
  • Simplifies operations and cloud resources maintenance
  • Automation processes

Leveraging IaC to define your tagging and naming convention policies allows us to control our infrastructure with all the benefits of code, such as:

  • Versioning
  • Deployment automation consistency,
  • Standardization,
  • Work item/bug tracking.
  • And many more …

Once we have defined a tagging policy, we need to oversee its adoption.

We need to have tools in place to both:

  • Audit resources compliance to our tagging strategy
  • Prevent creation of resources that are not compliant to our tagging strategy

We’ll help you understand all the tools available to create and supervise your tags, along with an example on how to create dashboards.

You’ll be able to monitor your tagging across

  • AWS
  • GCP
  • Azure
  • Kubernetes

No provider escapes our policies.
