We run regular FinOps meetings within departments, so everyone’s aware. I think everyone should. But it’s a lot of overhead of course. So a dev is concerned not only with DevOps anymore but with DevSecFinOps. Not everyone can cope with so many aspects at once. There’s a lot of complexity creep in that.

Yeah, AWS has the billing panel, that's where I usually discover that after I make a rough estimate on how much the thing I'm building should cost by studying the relevant tables, I end up with stuff costing twice as much, because on top of the expected items there's always a ton of miscellaneous stuff I never thought about.
