Best practices for monitoring cloud costs with Datadog Scorecards

To optimize cloud spend, organizations need detailed visibility into their costs and usage of cloud services. This enables successful adoption of FinOps, which provides a framework to maximize the value from cloud expenditure. Key practices include tagging resources for cost allocation, maximizing commitment-based discounts, and alerting on unexpected cost changes. Datadog Scorecards can track compliance with these best practices and provide insights into an organization's progress in maturing its FinOps practice.
