GKE Lens provides a way for you to consistently measure your Google Kubernetes Engine clusters against best practices and identify areas for improvement. The GKE Lens dashboard is automatically created when GKE workloads are detected in your accounts and include the following information:

• GKE nodes cost, including forecast
• Master nodes cost
• Top k8s namespaces
• Top k8s clusters
• k8s resources breakdown (CPU, memory, disks)
• Interactive GKE Cost Explorer helping you to drill down from regions to pods interactively.

The information on the GKE Lens is updated every hour to bring the most up-to-date data to your fingertips.

Today, we are streamlining the user invitation process by making it possible to specify user roles directly from the "Invite User" dialog. 

If your organization is using the "Default role" feature, this role will be preselected automatically when you invite users to the Cloud Management Platform.

We here at DoiT International always prioritize the security and trust of our customers. So we work hard to ensure and protect their privacy and data.

This is why we are pleased as punch to announce DoiT International is now SOC 2 Type II compliant!

With this compliance, our Cloud Management Platform, including FlexSave, SpotScaling, and Cloud Analytics continues to demonstrate how we cover privacy, security, and confidentiality.

SOC 2 is a framework applicable to all SaaS companies that store customer data to ensure that organizational controls and practices effectively safeguard customer and client data privacy and security.

Adjusting the time-range filter in your FlexSave dashboard will now generate a corresponding change in your FlexSave savings chart.

Today we are announcing support for more visualizations such as column or bar charts in comparative-mode reports. Comparative reports in Cloud Analytics present the cost, usage, or even custom metrics change over time. That makes trend analysis more prominent and allows you to quickly confirm that cloud cost, use, and other metrics line up with your expectations and plans.

Cloud cost anomaly detection offers end-to-end monitoring of spikes in your Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services billing, seamlessly, across all your projects and services.

Following today's release, our market-leading Cloud Cost Anomalies support your local currency! To change the currency in which you're seeing cost anomalies (as well as reports, budgets, dashboards, etc.), navigate to Settings -> General. For more information read this article on our help center.

GCP Lens provides a way for you to consistently measure your Google Cloud workloads against best practices and identify areas for improvement. The GCP Lens dashboard is automatically created when Google Cloud workloads are detected in your accounts and include the following information:

• Google Cloud Spend History w/ Forecast
• Breakdown by top Google Cloud services during last six months
• Breakdown by top Google Cloud projects during previous six months
• Map of your Google Cloud regions
• Coverage of eligible resources with CUDs for optimal cost

The information on the GCP Lens is updated every hour to bring the most up-to-date data to your fingertips. 

Committed use discounts (CUDs) for Cloud Run provide deeply discounted prices in exchange for committing to continuously use Cloud Run in a particular region for a one-year term [1].

Cloud Run committed use discounts automatically apply to all aggregated Cloud Run CPU, memory, and request usage in a region. Cloud Run committed use discounts do not apply to networking charges.

The new preset report 'Cloud Run CUD Eligible' makes it easy to understand how much eligible Cloud Run consumption exists. With this information, you can purchase Cloud Run CUDs with more confidence and achieve significant savings on your serverless workloads.

You can filter the metrics used to build a report.  Previously we only allowed you to remove minor values.  However, with our new filters, you can support filters of any numeric amount.  This is great for focusing your data on only material cost and usage as well as eliminating outliers from trended analysis!

• Want to only see usage for services with spend > $500?  we got you!
• Want to remove costs below $50?  sure, no problem!
• Want to only see only services that have savings associated with them? easy!
