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.

Want to customize what runs inside your Kubernetes containers? This blog shows you how to use commands and arguments to override Docker defaults, with practical examples and use cases like running startup scripts and testing network connectivity.

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.
