Cost Governance
Cost governance that keeps OCI spend honest after the savings land.
A one time clean up saves money once. Governance keeps it saved. We build the budgets, tags, and reporting that stop OCI spend from drifting back up.

Cost optimization removes the waste that is there today. Cost governance is the standing structure that stops new waste from accumulating tomorrow. Without it, every estate drifts back toward the same over provisioned, untagged, unaccountable state within a year.
We put the governance scaffolding in place. Compartment level budgets with alerts, a tagging standard that ties every resource to an owner and a cost centre, and reporting that shows finance and engineering the same numbers. The point is that spend becomes visible, attributable, and boring, which is exactly what good cost control looks like.
OCI Budgets at compartment level with alerts that reach the people who can act.
A defined tag taxonomy tying every resource to an owner, environment, and cost centre.
Reporting that attributes spend to teams so cost has an owner.
Tracking of Universal Credits and reservations so commitments are used, not wasted.
Alerting on unexpected spend changes before they become a surprise on the bill.
A regular review rhythm so cost stays a managed metric, not an annual shock.
Optimization and governance solve different problems. You need both, in this order.
| Activity | What it does | When it runs |
|---|---|---|
| Cost optimization | Removes waste that exists now | One off, then periodic |
| Cost governance | Stops new waste forming | Continuous, standing structure |
| Tagging standard | Makes spend attributable | Set once, enforced always |
| Budgets and alerts | Catch drift early | Always on |
