While unexpected costs are less common in well-managed cloud environments with proper FinOps practices in place, we understand that sometimes extraordinary circumstances can lead to surprising bills. Our FinOps team works directly with your development teams and business areas to identify root causes and implement effective solutions. First, we'll conduct a rapid cost analysis to identify the source of the spending spike and help implement immediate controls if needed. We then work with your teams to understand the business context behind the unexpected usage - whether it's a successful product launch, a cyber incident, or development testing - and adjust your cost monitoring thresholds and budgets accordingly. Our experts can help turn these surprises into learning opportunities, developing new monitoring rules and governance policies that better align with your dynamic business needs while maintaining cost efficiency.
