State of FinOps 2026 |
The FinOps Foundation’s mission is to advance every individual who manages the value of cloud, wherever they are. We do this by strengthening community connections, providing opportunities for learning and growth through education, and empowering practitioners with best practices.
To support this ongoing mission, we conduct our annual State of FinOps survey to gather insights about the FinOps discipline and industry from community practitioners. These insights help improve FinOps best practices and guide future content and educational programming.
Your input is valuable, and this survey should take no more than 20 minutes of your time.
If you have questions about this survey, feel free to reach out by email to hello@finops.org.
