15. Berlin FinOps and Cloud Cost Optimization - 03 November 2026

Das Meetup widmet sich der technischen und finanziellen Seite von Cloud-Infrastrukturen. Cloudchipr gibt Einblicke in die Praxis der Kostenoptimierung. Im Zentrum stehen drei Themenbereiche. Es geht um versteckte Kubernetes-Kosten, die Aufbereitung von Finanzdaten für das CFO-Reporting und den Einsatz von KI-Agenten bei der Analyse von Sparpotenzialen. Der Abend bietet Raum für den Austausch innerhalb der Berliner FinOps-Community. Nach den Vorträgen bleibt Zeit für fachliche Diskussionen und Networking.

FinOps Beyond the Dashboard: Hidden Costs, CFO Reporting & AI Agents Hello, For our next Berlin FinOps Meetup, we're welcoming Cloudchipr as our sponsor and guest speaker, with Cortex Reply kindly hosting us this time. This time, we're looking at three practical challenges: Kubernetes costs that are easy to overlook, financial reporting that helps CFOs make decisions, and what happens when AI agents start doing FinOps analysis. Cloudchipr will share real-world case studies, lessons learned, and practical insights. As usual, there will be plenty of time for questions, discussions, and catching up with the Berlin FinOps community. Looking forward to seeing you all again! — Cristian and Sascha, the meetup group admins. A big thank you to Cortex Reply for opening their doors and providing the space for our community to come together! We really appreciate their support.
