FinOps insights for IT leaders often focus on cloud spend, but IT leaders know that real cost drivers extend across hybrid environments. Achieving clarity requires more than budget reports. It requires understanding how workloads behave over time, how performance and capacity shift, and where visibility gaps hide operational and financial risk.
To support those efforts, we sat down with Tim Conley, creator of Galileo, to explore practical FinOps insights for IT leaders. These short videos break down the patterns, decision points, and data considerations that shape effective cost and performance strategies.
FinOps Insights Video Series
Explore all 13 clips from our FinOps discussion with Tim. Each segment focuses on a specific challenge or observation that helps IT leaders make informed, data-backed decisions in hybrid environments. Many of the themes discussed here align with industry guidance from the FinOps Foundation.

Why FinOps Insights Matter
FinOps isn’t just about managing cloud budgets. For IT leaders working across mixed environments, the biggest challenges often stem from incomplete visibility. Without understanding workload patterns, dependencies, and long-term trends, cost decisions become reactive and disconnected from operational reality.
These clips highlight how data shapes better decisions, reduces uncertainty, and strengthens the alignment between technical performance and financial outcomes.
