Alerts is a new feature that helps you effortlessly monitor your cloud consumption at any level of granularity, so unwanted activity doesn't go unnoticed.

While setting cloud budgets is a great way to stay informed on your cost or usage, they aren’t great for all situations. For example, what if you wanted to know when any of your K8s clusters had a >10% week-over-week spend increase? Or if any compute machines had a day-over-day increase greater than 25%? 

Monitoring at this level of granularity using budgets would require a lot of manual work.

But using Alerts, you can do this easily, and much more. Use Alerts to complement your budgets and anomaly detection for a multi-layered defense against cloud overspend.
