Solution Management

FinOps Center is deployed entirely within customer’s AWS account and is built 100% on native AWS services, enabling centralized operations management, governance, and observability aligned with AWS best practices. It provides customers with full ownership and control of their operational environment while supporting scalable, secure, and compliant centralized management across their AWS workloads.

Centralized Operational Control

The solution is designed to support centralized visibility and control through seamless integration with AWS native tools, allowing customers to centrally manage infrastructure, security, and operations. Key components include:

• AWS CloudFormation: FinOps Center serverless infrastructure and application code is deployed with CloudFormation, ensuring consistency of deployments.

• AWS Control Tower and AWS Organizations Alignment: FinOps Center integrates with the Account Management APIs that are accessed from the Delegated Admin account enabling onboarding of new AWS Account immediately vs when the account appears on the Cost and Usage Report

Centralized Monitoring and Logging

To support operational excellence and proactive issue detection, the solution integrates natively with:

• Amazon CloudWatch (Logs, Metrics, Alarms, Dashboards): All FinOps Center operations are monitored by CloudWatch, which provides real-time performance monitoring and unified observability across application components.

• AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config: Aligned to AWS Best Practices, all FinOps Center transactions and configuration updates are tracked with AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config.

Centralized Compliance and Governance

The solution promotes centralized compliance through:

• AWS Config Rules and Conformance Packs: Evaluate resource configurations continuously across all regions and accounts to ensure compliance with internal policies and industry regulations.

• IAM, SCPs, and Resource Policies: Secure access to resources is managed centrally using AWS IAM policies, permission boundaries, and Service Control Policies (SCPs) where AWS Organizations is used.
