Description: Unexpected Costs refer to those expenses that arise unexpectedly during the use of resources, especially in the context of cloud computing and financial operations management (FinOps). These costs can stem from various sources, such as excessive resource usage, hidden fees, changes in pricing structures from cloud service providers, or inadequate monitoring of utilized resources. The dynamic nature of cloud services, where resources can be scaled rapidly, contributes to the emergence of these costs, as organizations may not have complete visibility of their consumption in real-time. Managing these costs is crucial for maintaining financial efficiency and avoiding unpleasant surprises in monthly bills. Companies implementing FinOps practices seek not only to identify and mitigate these unexpected costs but also to optimize their use of cloud resources, ensuring that every expense aligns with business and operational objectives. The ability to anticipate and manage these costs is fundamental for the financial sustainability of organizations relying on cloud infrastructure.
