Description: Resource visibility in the context of FinOps and cloud cost optimization refers to the ability to see and track all resources deployed in a cloud environment, as well as their usage and consumption. This visibility is crucial for organizations looking to effectively manage their cloud spending, as it allows them to identify which resources are in use, which are unnecessary, and how costs can be optimized. Resource visibility includes the collection of data on computing instances, storage, databases, and other cloud services, providing a clear view of spending and performance. Additionally, it facilitates informed decision-making regarding resource allocation, budget planning, and the implementation of savings strategies. In an environment where cloud costs can escalate rapidly, having complete visibility is essential to avoid surprises in billing and ensure that resources are used efficiently. The implementation of tools and platforms that offer this visibility has become a common practice in organizations seeking to maximize their return on investment in the cloud, allowing for a proactive approach to cost management.
