In the calculation of ROI, you also need to take into consideration coverage. Usually, when doing QA Automation, you also increase coverage of the test cases and this not always taken into consideration.

Has anyone been successful in implementing a FinOps Cost Optimization policy to turn down idle cloud instances during off hours (nights/weekends)?  DId you start with non-prod environments?  How are you handling logging/monitoring alerts during that time?

We currently run the on-prem version of SAP hybris at AWS.   Almost every operational workload we have runs at AWS, inclusing integration layer, enterprise shared services, and analytics.  

SAP is no longer going to support the on-prem version, and the only version they have available is available at Azure only.  We have an Azure presence, but only for productivity-type work.  We are very reticent to undertake the hybris move to Azure since it adds operational complexity, cost, and latency (as a retailer, hybris is our cart engine for both web and store sales...our most latency sensitive business process).

Options before us:  
1. stay with hybris but move to the Azure version and invest in support & latency mitigation, or
2. move to some other AWS-based commerce engine. 

Any others faced with this decision?  If so, what approach are you taking and why?

I would like to hear from others that have implemented SailPoint Identity Security Cloud how they staffed after go-live and skills needed. Were there added duties, change in roles, etc. We have provisioners currently and going live with ISC in a few weeks. I am looking ahead to where I can implement role changes with the team. Any help would be appreciated.
