Case Study: The Linux Foundation achieves self-service FinOps and reduces cloud spend inquiries with Ternary

Facing challenges with cloud cost management

The Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organization supporting open-source software, faced significant challenges managing its multi-cloud costs across over 900 projects. Without a dedicated FinOps team or specialized tooling, its small IT department struggled with manual tracking, leading to inefficiency and constant stakeholder inquiries. To address this, they partnered with Ternary to implement its multi-cloud FinOps platform.

By adopting Ternary, the Linux Foundation gained unified cost visibility across more than 12 clouds, enabling self-service FinOps for its teams. The solution provided tailored dashboards and budget alerts, empowering project teams to manage their own spending. This partnership with Ternary resulted in a 30% decrease in cloud spend-related inquiries and eliminated the need to hire a full FinOps team, delivering strong operational efficiency and ROI.
