if you need a "FinOps" team to manage your cloud cost, I would argue that there's something wrong with your whole damn paradigm.
How would you manage your cloud costs if you ran a company of, say, 4,000 engineers? Balancing the needs of delivery teams to build their technology with the needs of the business to manage costs. Do you think every single team should directly report their cloud costs to the CFO? Or at that scale does it make more sense to report costs to another individual? And when that needs to scale, maybe we give that individual a team?
