AI spend is growing fast. Innovation is encouraged. No one wants to throttle experimentation.

But when the AI bill doubles overnight, someone has to explain it, and too often, that someone is an SRE digging through dashboards instead of shipping features.

This session tackles a core challenge: How do you move fast on AI without losing control of spend and without turning cost reviews into manual investigations?

We’ll share a Datadog-on-Datadog story of how we use Cloud Cost Management’s FinOps Agent to automatically detect, investigate, and explain AI cost changes. Instead of asking “Who’s spending this?” or “What changed?”, the agent correlates usage, services, and model activity to deliver fast and accurate root cause context.

Built for SREs, Platform Teams and FinOps Analysts, this session spotlights Cloud Cost Management’s FinOps Agent, with a focus on deep visibility into AI costs and workloads.

You’ll walk away understanding how to:

• Quickly identify and investigate major cost shifts
• Attribute AI spend to teams and services
• Reduce investigation time so you can spend more time innovating

Ship fast and let CCM’s FinOps Agent handle the bill.
