EUCCOST01-BP01 Evaluate EUC specific cost model awareness in your cloud business

You may have a cloud business office, Cloud Center of Excellence, or a FinOps team that is responsible for establishing and maintaining cost awareness across your organization. However, AWS EUC services often use many other services and may require a solid understanding of Microsoft licensing to optimize the cost. If you are using the ITIL framework, you may already have defined service owners for individual services who own the financials for their services.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low

Implementation guidance

Evaluate the required domain knowledge in your cloud business office. We recommend you evaluate the required EUC domain knowledge in your cloud business office to understand if the team is ready to support cost optimization for EUC services. These individuals need to be intimately familiar with the cost optimization levers specific to EUC services, such as Microsoft licensing, WorkSpaces running modes, WorkSpaces bundles, WorkSpaces Applications Fleet types, and WorkSpaces Applicationsinstances. Provide EUC-specific cloud financial training to them if there is a knowledge gap.
