Yes. If you ignore the resource optimization recommendations provided by OpsNow FinOps Plus, your organization may face significant financial and operational risks in managing cloud infrastructure.
💸 1. Increased Cloud Cost Waste
- Over-Provisioned Resources: Continuing to run instances with higher specs than necessary can lead to missed opportunities to reduce cloud spend without compromising performance.
- Idle Resources Left Unused: When unused or underutilized resources are kept running, they generate ongoing, unnecessary costs that reduce overall cloud cost-efficiency.
⚠️ 2. Operational Inefficiencies
- Low-Utilization Resources Accumulate: If underused resources remain in specific regions, accounts, or by tags, they can distort budget tracking and showback/chargeback processes, making cost accountability difficult.
- Unnecessary Commitments: As cloud spending gradually increases, you may feel pressured to renew Reserved Instances or Savings Plans that are not optimally aligned with actual usage.
