We are excited to announce a powerful new feature that will empower you to investigate AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) contract pricing using Cloud Analytics reports within the DoiT Console. By leveraging these three new system labels, you can extract valuable insights into the pricing structure and the applied discounts, making it easier than ever to understand and manage your AWS EDP investment.

Here’s a quick overview of the three labels that have been added to Cloud Analytics reports:

1. pricebook/rule_name: This label corresponds to the rule name as defined in the price book. It allows you to identify the specific rule applied to a given resource, helping you understand the context of the applied pricing structure.
2. pricebook/rate_value: This label represents the discount rate applied. For instance, a 5% EDP will be displayed as 0.95. This information will you to quickly identify the EDP rate being applied to their AWS resources.
3. pricebook/original_cost: This label shows the original cost of the resource before the discount was applied. By comparing this value with the current cost, you can easily evaluate the benefits of your EDP pricing structure.

To access these labels, navigate to the Cloud Analytics section in the DoiT Console and simply group by one (or all) of these labels. This enhanced visibility into AWS EDP pricing will enable you to provide timely and accurate assistance to your finance and FinOps teams.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of improved access to the Billing Profiles to streamline the management of your billing information.

Today, we are introducing two new APIs: the Attributions API and the Dimensions API. These powerful tools enable you to automate the process of allocating and tracking expenses for your cloud spend.

Attributions are a powerful tool for building highly configurable cost allocation, quickly identifying associated cost trends, and determining which cost drivers create the most impact. Attributions can then be used to create Reports, Alerts, and Dashboards to drive insights over your public cloud use.

Additionally, as part of this flow, you can use our new Dimensions API to get information about the available fields you can use to build your attributions.

We are confident that the new APIs will be valuable assets for any organization looking to take its cost observability and FinOps practice to the next level. We hope that you enjoy them and look forward to hearing your feedback!

This improvement provides complete time range selection flexibility, allowing you to cover exactly the period you want to analyze, whether that is a static range or a custom rolling window.

You will now be asked to save changes to reports manually. If you try to exit the page with unsaved changes, you will be prompted for confirmation. Furthermore when you only have View permissions to a report you can easily explore the data and Save As empowering you to more quickly create unique versions to re-use or share.

We will continue to roll out this pattern to the rest of the platform unlocking safer collaboration and faster insights

Happy reporting!

Today we are excited to announce the launch of Attribution Groups, a new cost allocation feature in the DoiT Console! 

When it comes to establishing a FinOps practice, allocating costs is a key building block as it sets you up for success with other important tasks. For example, once you’ve divided your cloud bill among the different parts of your organization that use it, it becomes easier to manage shared costs, budgets, forecasts, and more.

With Attribution Groups, users can easily group cloud resources into logical groupings for cost allocation. This makes it easy to track, map and allocate costs across teams, environments and applications.

We are excited to bring this powerful new feature to you, and we look forward to helping you increase ownership and control over your cloud budget.
