“Managing cloud computing costs has become a painful game of Whac-a-Mole that teams are forced to play at the end of every month. FinOps finds problems on the monthly bill, yet doesn’t have the means to research and resolve the underlying issues. Engineering then spends countless hours digging through data to identify the responsible rogue workload. “The founding team at Strake has built systems at Carbon Black and VMWare that transformed cloud cost management, so they understand this problem deeply. The Unusual Ventures team is excited to partner with these experts as they leverage their experience to build tools that help developers eliminate the waste, unpredictability and chaos of cloud cost management.”
