The Hub brings together over 70 contributors to catalog more than 200 cloud inefficiencies, becoming a critical resource for engineering and FinOps teams.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2025 / The Cloud Efficiency Hub, a community-driven initiative to compile and share cloud inefficiencies, launches today. The Hub provides a comprehensive, public knowledge base of cloud waste, becoming a key resource within the fast-growing Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) category.

Cloud infrastructure continues to expand in complexity, often resulting in hidden inefficiencies that drive unnecessary costs and hinder performance. The Cloud Efficiency Hub uniquely addresses this challenge through a collaborative approach. With contributions from more than 70 practitioners from leading enterprises, the Hub has already cataloged over 200 distinct cloud inefficiencies.
“The Hub is centralizing knowledge around cloud inefficiencies in a way that hasn’t been done before,” said Matt Walls, FinOps Engineer at NBCUniversal and Founding Contributor. “It’s given me the chance to learn from global experts and share my experiences optimizing cloud environments.”
The Hub leverages the principles of CEPM, an emerging discipline that focuses on continuous optimization and embedded remediation within engineering workflows. By openly sharing real-world inefficiencies, from idle compute resources to misconfigured storage, the community empowers teams to move beyond traditional cost management toward comprehensive cloud efficiency.
“I was immediately drawn to the Cloud Efficiency Hub because it directly addressed a need I recognized in my work,” said Christine Oji, Cloud FinOps Engineer and Founding Contributor. “By documenting common waste patterns and their drivers, the Hub reinforces the tremendous value of collective knowledge.”
The project is governed through a lightweight, transparent structure featuring Contributors, Maintainers, and a Governing Board, ensuring content remains accurate, actionable, and community-aligned.
