The Bill That Fixes Itself: Trustworthy Agentic FinOps "with Legs" - Pratik Mohapatra, Confluentis Consulting LLP

Friday October 9, 2026 11:55 - 12:35 CEST

Small Hall (Floor 0)

Cloud cost dashboards are everywhere. Closed loops are not. Most FinOps practice ends at a recommendation a human may or may not apply, and even applied savings drift back the moment someone bumps a SKU in the console. This talk shows how we replaced manual cost reviews across a multi-cloud landscape. We started with all PaaS estate with an always-on agentic loop built on open source: a pluggable LLM (wrapper) reasoning layer driven by a state machine, Argo Workflows running a 6 hour collect, analyse, act pipeline, OpenTelemetry unifying metrics from both clouds, CloudEvents standardising approvals across Service Bus and Pub/Sub, and Crossplane as the enforcement engine whose 30 second reconciliation makes every saving permanent. We cover the three layer policy model (E.g. Git rules, Azure Policy, GCP Org Policy) that keeps the agent inside its mandate, and the trust gates that earned it autonomy: recommendation-only until FinOps validated over 80% of proposals across 30 days, then graduated rollout by action class, with production databases never automated. We close with real savings data (40 to 70% on storage, 60 to 70% on dev databases) and the failure modes we hit on the way.
