Data-First FinOps: Stopping the 'Post-Migration Bill Shock' in Azure and AWS
Moving to the cloud shouldn’t mean a massive, unexpected bill. Here’s how to prevent it.
Why Post-Migration Bills Explode
After a lift-and-shift or rapid migration, many teams see costs spike: over-provisioned VMs, unoptimized storage, data egress, and ungoverned spend. The “post-migration bill shock” is one of the top fears of cloud adoption. Data-first FinOps means putting cost visibility and allocation in place before and during migration—so you see who and what is driving cost, set budgets and alerts, and optimize as you go. In Azure and AWS, that means tags, cost management tools, and a culture of accountability so the first post-migration bill is predictable, not a surprise.
