Hi All,
The DOD recently published the MEMORANDUM FOR SENIOR PENTAGON LEADERSHIP DEFENSE AGENCY AND DOD FIELD ACTIVITY DIRECTORS
SUBJECT: Department of Defense Cloud Financial Operations Strategy
The adoption of commercial cloud-based capabilities across the Department of Defense (DoD) remains fundamental to modernization. As cloud adoption and dependence continue to increase, and with the evolution and maturity of artificial intelligence-based solutions, DoD must improve its cloud management to ensure delivery of services while achieving best fiscal value.
The DoD Cloud Financial Operations (FinOps) Strategy provides direction for enabling cloud cost management and optimization for better investment, budgetary, and architectural decisions. Leveraging industry recognized best practices, the strategy de~cribes a desired outcome, provides a DoD-tailored FinOps framework based on the FinOps Framework from the FinOps Foundation, and identifies strategic imperatives and associated actions to enable an enterprise understanding ofcloud costs and impacts. It establishes a way ahead that will allow the Department to be a better user and buyer ofcloud services.
The point of contact for this matter is George Lamb at [email protected], (571) 372-4484.
