He also shares how carbon footprint data has become an unexpected but effective lever in convincing engineering teams to make smarter infrastructure decisions.Corin Bishop manages public cloud operations at Cloudera, a $1B+ enterprise data company, where he is responsible for both keeping multi-cloud infrastructure running and ensuring that every dollar spent on AWS, GCP, and Azure is owned, allocated, and accounted for. He introduced FinOps as a formal practice at Cloudera from scratch and has driven it largely as a one-person function, using a combination of tooling, cross-functional partnership, and governance discipline. His current work spans AI access governance, LLM cost attribution, and cloud carbon footprint reporting.Learn more at https://www.cloudzero.com/ ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/TG_tpTTRouGETVwbcOgIFSa01yt35bTD9gH-VmNy-dk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hMTAx/YTU3ZWNkZTQzNTg2/MjFjZTE2NzY4ZDVk/M2U2ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
