This blog introduces GitOps for managing applications and infrastructure using Git, explaining its core principles & benefits like enhanced security, collaboration & automation. It also compares GitOps to CI/CD and highlights how it complements existing DevOps practices.

PointFive enters 2025 with a bold vision: to scale FinOps through deep engineering engagement, multi-cloud maturity, and breakthrough automation. From real-time anomaly detection to AI-powered insights, PointFive is redefining how teams approach cloud cost optimization. Learn how we’re expanding our platform, deepening partnerships, and showing the world that saving money in the cloud can be powerful—and fun.

Deploying to air-gapped Kubernetes clusters is complex and error-prone. Devtron’s Software Distribution Hub simplifies this by automating Helm chart delivery, using private registries and a Release Operator to securely manage and monitor deployments in air gapped enviornments.

As cloud environments grow in complexity, manual FinOps processes fall short. This article explores how automation transforms cloud cost efficiency—from resolving stale opportunities to aligning optimizations with sprint cycles. Learn how PointFive helps teams embed financial governance into engineering workflows, enabling proactive, scalable, and policy-driven cloud savings without compromising agility.

Deploying on Kubernetes? Avoid common pitfalls with these 21 best practices. From optimizing YAML manifests to managing security, scaling, and observability, these tips will help you ensure smooth, reliable, and efficient deployments. Master Kubernetes the right way and streamline your workflows.

In the 2025 State of FinOps report, workload optimization and waste reduction once again top the list of priorities—but this time, it's about action, not just visibility. As FinOps matures, the focus is shifting from simply identifying inefficiencies to systematically fixing them through built-in workflows, context-rich insights, and tighter engineering integration. This article explores how governance, automation, and cultural alignment are shaping the next frontier of FinOps—where every dollar saved is tracked, verified, and sustained at scale.

Modern AppSec teams are overwhelmed with alerts but still struggle to answer the one question that matters: What should we fix first? This article explores how shifting from raw data to contextual insights helps prioritize the most impactful vulnerabilities, align security efforts with business goals, and move application security from a cost center to a strategic enabler.

PointFive introduces a new approach to cloud cost management with Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) — a discipline focused on optimizing cloud resource configuration, scaling, and architecture. Unlike traditional FinOps tools that emphasize spend visibility and discounts, CEPM continuously identifies root causes of inefficiency, delivers actionable insights, and embeds optimization into engineering workflows. From misconfigured DynamoDB tables to inefficient Aurora storage settings, PointFive helps teams move beyond surface-level cost savings to drive sustained performance, reliability, and cloud efficiency at scale.
