New Feature: Cost Transparency Reports

New feature alert! Cloudthread is launching Cost Transparency Reports. This is an addition to the platform's cost transparency capabilities aimed at keeping key stakeholders informed about the most important aspects of the cloud spend – in a concise way and through the convenient channels.

Cost Transparency Reports are keeping key stakeholders informed about the most important aspects of the cloud spend – in a concise way and through the convenient channels.

Keeping your organization in the know about the cloud costs is the key part of any FinOps practice. Achieving it is not always easy however. Different stakeholders prefer to consume information in different ways and also need different types of insights. Engineers, for instance, often do not like to dig into yet another BI dashboard or read lengthy informational emails from a Finance team.

Cloudthread solves this problem with a robust set of engineering-focused notification features, which now includes the Cost Transparency Reports – structured cloud cost digests delivered to your teammates on schedule via Slack or Email (more channel integrations are on the way).

Cost Transparency Reports can be set up from Cloudthread App, and have flexible configuration options, including adjustable thresholds, schedules and delivery channels. Moreover, content of the report can be modified for different stakeholders to include not only key absolute cost trends across common dimensions (accounts, regions, services), but also tag-based insights and major unit metrics.

The feature is now available for AWS – contact us to start using it as well as other engineering-focused cloud cost management capabilities Cloudthread platform provides.
