Shared responsibility model for cloud spend: Inform, Optimize, Operate phases.
by FinOps FoundationAWS Well-Architected Sustainability Pillar
AWS guidance for reducing the environmental impact of cloud workloads by maximizing utilization, right-sizing, and choosing efficient regions, services, and hardware.
by Amazon Web ServicesLLM Cost Optimization
LLM cost optimization reduces the spend of running language model applications through model selection, caching, prompt efficiency, and token-aware design without sacrificing quality.
by OpenAICloud Cost Allocation and Tagging
Cloud cost allocation and tagging is the FinOps practice of labeling cloud resources with consistent metadata so spend can be attributed accurately to teams, products, and environments.
by FinOps FoundationGreen Software Engineering
Green software engineering is the practice of building applications that are carbon-efficient, energy-efficient, and carbon-aware, reducing the environmental impact of software at every layer.

Checklists
Cloud Cost Optimization Checklist
Systematically reduce cloud spend through visibility, rightsizing, commitments, and architectural changes without harming reliability.
Benchmarks
Cost-per-Request Benchmark
Measures the fully loaded cloud cost of serving a single unit of work, attributing compute, memory, network, and storage spend to throughput.
Cloud Egress Cost Efficiency Benchmark
Measures the cost and volume of data leaving cloud environments, attributing egress spend to flows, regions, and services to surface optimization targets.
