from Hanselminutes with Scott Hanselman · host Scott Hanselman

Scott talks with Aran Khanna, co-founder and CEO of Archera, about a new category of cloud financial tooling: "Insured Commitments."

They get into the economics of cloud purchasing, how AI workloads are changing capacity planning, and what FinOps looks like in 2026. http://archera.ai
