We’re excited to roll out a new addition to StatusGator’s Private Ingestion suite: AWS Health integration — now available for Enterprise customers.

Cloud cost intelligence has moved beyond simple cost-cutting. Now, it’s about creating value. Cloud bills continue to rise, and workloads are becoming increasingly complex. Teams also need to understand what they’re spending, why, and how that spend ties to business results. FinOps has become the framework for bringing finance and engineering together. It’s helping teams manage costs, improve margins, and plan with confidence. But challenges remain.

My wife and I spent hours this summer at home digging in the dirt. We planted new shrubs and perennials and created a small vegetable garden. We spread many square yards of fresh topsoil and grass seed over areas of lawn that needed rejuvenation. It turns out, I should have done all that landscaping with a FinOps leader’s mindset — before my water bill tripled when I wasn’t looking.

The integration of Amazon Kiro and Harness’s MCP server enables developers to manage, troubleshoot, and optimize CI/CD pipelines directly from their IDE using natural language, dramatically reducing manual effort and accelerating software delivery from code generation to production.

Cloud costs are no longer just an engineering problem or a finance problem. It’s now an everyone problem. That was the central message from the FinOps Training At Scale webinar that took place on Sept. 25, 2025, where CloudZero’s Larry Advey (a.k.a. “Fred FinOps”) and Director of Tech Enablement Umesh Rao walked through the realities of building FinOps practices that work in the real world.

The world of cloud costs is always evolving, and AI spend is quickly becoming one of the most unpredictable and confusing cost drivers. As more organizations integrate generative AI into their products, FinOps teams are struggling to account for — and control — these new, often mind-boggling cost streams. In fact, 44% of engineering professionals say improving AI explainability is a top priority in AI budgeting, according to CloudZero’s State Of AI Costs In 2025 report.
