Agentic AI shifts FinOps from reporting cloud costs to governing autonomous systems. This article explores what changes, why it matters, and how to adapt.

Traditional FinOps relies on delayed billing data. AI workloads evolve in minutes. This gap is where costs explode. In this post, I explain why agentic FinOps requires a real-time runtime, not better dashboards. Using MCP (Model Context Protocol), FinOps agents can query live cost, usage, and policy data across clouds, detect anomalies as they happen, and act before waste becomes sunk cost. MCP is not hype. It is the missing plumbing for scalable FinOps in the age of AI.

What you'll learn:  Why traditional dashboards miss 90% of AI cost activity, or how real-time intelligence and Agentic FinOps are changing the competitive landscape.

This post looks beyond feature announcements to explain what really shifted: cost efficiency is becoming a runtime concern, not a reporting exercise. From the new Cost Efficiency metric to Bedrock inference tiers and AI-driven operations, FinOps is moving closer to the control plane.

I workloads break traditional FinOps because they generate volatile, real-time costs. Learn how to adapt your practice with allocation-first, real-time ingestion, and business-level unit economics.

Learn how agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) are transforming cloud FinOps from manual cost reporting to autonomous optimization. This hands-on demo shows AI agents analyzing AWS billing data, detecting anomalies, and generating executive dashboards in minutes. Discover practical architectures using Claude, Amazon Bedrock, and AWS Cost Explorer for enterprise-grade FinOps automation with built-in security and audit capabilities.

How detachment and signal-based thinking improve FinOps decisions, inspired by insights from Frank Contrepois’ latest article.

In this blog post, explore the synergy between cloud optimization and FinOps, uncovering strategies to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and drive sustainable IT practices for businesses seeking to maximize their cloud operations.
