3. FinOps en el Ciclo de Ingeniería (Shift-Left):

· Integrar la estimación de costes en los pipelines de Infraestructura como Código (p. ej., Infracost sobre Terraform) para que el impacto económico de cada cambio sea visible antes del despliegue.

· Participar en revisiones de arquitectura aportando la visión del pilar de Optimización de Costes del Well-Architected Framework de cada hyperscaler.

· Configurar presupuestos, alertas y detección de anomalías de coste (AWS Cost Anomaly Detection, Azure Cost Alerts) y gestionar su seguimiento con los equipos responsables.


4. Soporte a la Práctica FinOps:

· Elaborar los informes periódicos de consumo, ahorro conseguido y oportunidades pendientes, explicando el "porqué" técnico de cada desviación.
