AWS just replaced your FinOps team with an AI agent. This is AWS FinOps Agent. Just went into public preview. Every cloud team has lived this nightmare. Your AWS bill jumps. Someone gets paged. You spend hours crawling through Cost Explorer, CloudTrail and tag data trying to find the one engineer who spun up something they forgot about. AWS FinOps Agent kills that entire workflow. Here is what it actually does: → Detects a cost anomaly and immediately investigates the root cause without anyone touching it → Correlates the cost spike with CloudTrail events to find exactly what changed and who owns it → Opens a Jira ticket or sends a Slack message directly to the engineer responsible with full context attached → Answers natural language questions like "why did my AWS bill go up last month" using your actual usage data → Generates weekly, monthly and daily cost reports in PDF, HTML or PPT on a schedule automatically → Pulls optimization recommendations from Cost Optimization Hub and Compute Optimizer into one Jira ticket Workday, Convera and AVIV Group are already using it in production. Workday said what used to take hours of manual dashboard work now starts from a natural language interface. Cloud cost management has always been reactive, manual and painful. AWS just made it autonomous. Full details here: aws.amazon.com/finops-agent

@brian_armstrong Energy and compute are the bottleneck. Storage has the same pressure. Providers chase cheap power. Buyers care about cheap movement. $0 egress versus $9,000 to move 100TB out of AWS is the kind of difference procurement notices.
