299: The growing divide between developers and FinOps (with Martin Reynolds from Harness)

What the Dev?

In this episode, Jenna Barron interviews Martin Reynolds, field CTO of Harness, about the misalignment between developers and FinOps. The company recently did a report that backed up the claims that developers and FinOps aren't properly aligned, and they talk about some of the findings of that report.

Some key points of discussion include:

• The fact that over half of developers say their cloud purchasing commitments are based on guesswork
• The lack of data on idle cloud resources, unused resource, and over or underprovisioned workloads
• Processes and tools that can help with alignment
• How the adoption of AI has contributed to the problem
