Ever wonder how to harness the power of FinOps to future-proof your cloud ecosystem? You’re in the right place. I’m Vinay Sastry, a Senior Technical Account Manager and Cloud Architect with over 20 years of experience driving cloud adoption, automation, and strategic growth across public and private sectors. For the past five years, I’ve served as a Cloud Financial Management (FinOps) specialist at AWS, guiding Enterprise Support customers on their cloud journeys and advising them on best practices to elevate their FinOps maturity.
Why focus on FinOps? It’s more than just tracking expenses. It’s about creating a culture of ownership, accountability, and proactive optimisation. My mission is to share real-world insights, successes, and lessons learned—so that you can adopt FinOps strategies without starting from scratch. Whether you’re a seasoned IT professional or just dipping your toes into the cloud, I hope my experiences spark new ideas for you. I’ll get in the weeds with FinOps, and sprinkle in tidbits about the things that make life interesting.
Outside of technology, I’m a self confessed travel nut who has a habit of collecting souvenir mugs from every place I visit. During all the time I’m not tweaking cloud cost models, or sipping coffee from another collector’s mug, I’m reading a good book, or rootin’ for my favourite cricket team.
