Cloud cost surprises are a workflow problem, not a FinOps problem. DevOps teams can fix this by shifting cost visibility left into CI/CD pipelines — showing cost estimates in pull requests, enforcing tagging policies before merge, and blocking unapproved infrastructure configurations via policy-as-code. Tools like IBM Cloudability Governance integrate with GitHub and Terraform to make cost a first-class deployment signal alongside security and performance checks. GitLab support is on the roadmap for 2026. The core argument: catching cost issues early is cheaper and less disruptive than firefighting after deployment, just like catching bugs early.
