New Budgets

We have revamped our Budgets! They now support:

  1. Flexible Scoping: You can now define a budget scope with any dimension you like, for example a set of accounts or projects, one or multiple regions… you name it!
  2. Budget vs. Actuals View: Quickly see how you are performing toward your budget for the period.

The new Budget vs. Actuals View is designed to give you a detailed and comprehensive look at performance following your budgets. This view allows you to easily compare your projected budget with the actual expenses incurred in the current period. This gives you a clear understanding of where your money is being spent and helps you identify any areas where you may be overspending. You can also view your spending forecast, allowing you to make informed decisions before it is too late.

You can access the new Budget Versus Actuals View by clicking on View budget in the 3-dot menu for your budget:


We continue to improve Budgets and will be releasing some more exciting news soon!

Enhanced forecasting granularity in DoiT Cloud Analytics

DoiT Forecasting is now enhanced with the support of "Forecast per grouping" in addition to the "Total forecast".

Planning for future cloud spend just got easier and more granular. The forecasting capability in Cloud Analytics is now able to project future spend using the ‘Group by’ dimension for current and future months. By forecasting each ‘Group by’ dimension’s value, you’ll be able to:

  • Help engineering teams set realistic hiring/expansion plans based on their infrastructure spend trajectory
  • Track cost ratios between environments (e.g., dev should be 1/10th of prod) to ensure healthy spend allocation
  • Surface zombie projects or accounts that should be flat/declining but show growth

Below is the "Forecast per grouping” view once enabled 

To enable the “Forecast per grouping” feature, we have introduced a new configuration option within the Forecast settings. Here, you can choose between “Forecast per grouping” or “Total forecast.” After making your selection, simply apply the change and re-run the report to see the updated results.

To learn more about Forecasting per grouping please refer to the Forecasting documentation in the Help Center.

Deep Dive into Insights Recommendations using Reports

Insights gives you valuable, actionable recommendations to get savings in your Cloud bill. We know, however, that acting on these recommendations can sometimes be daunting and require a deeper dive into the data.

That’s why we have now added an option within each Insight detail page to open a report that can give you more information about the recommendation. Of course you can freely dive deeper into the data from there, harnessing our powerful reports!

Insights is available to customers on an Enhanced tier or higher.

DoiT Insights now provide saving opportunities for Snowflake

DoiT insights can now analyze your Snowflake billing data to identify savings opportunities and generate actionable recommendations. Our first Snowflake insight, named “Optimize Snowflake auto-suspend” provides recommendations for setting up warehouse auto suspension. It assesses the compute credits charged by Snowflake while your warehouse was idle and translates those numbers into potential savings if you follow DoiT's advice.

DoiT insights are located under the Governance tab on your Cloud Navigator toolbar. Here you can see an overview of each opportunity and an estimate of how much it will save you. Click on “Optimize Snowflake auto-suspend” for more information about how to take action, as well as a breakdown of how the potential savings are calculated. You can also create a Jira thread from the Insights screen to create and track an engineering task to handle the savings opportunity, or raise a support ticket to enlist a DoiT expert for more information.

All DoiT Insights, including Snowflake, continuously update as new savings opportunities arise. To learn more about DoiT Insights  and how they can help advance your FinOps and cost optimization practices, check out our Help documentation, or reach out to your DoiT account team.

DoiT Forecasting - now more reliable, discoverable, configurable, and readable.

DoiT forecasting is now more reliable, discoverable, configurable, and readable. 

Expanded machine learning capabilities, integrating a diverse range of new forecasting models in the backend, accommodate various types of time series data and different durations of historical spending. This new underlying data ensures superior forecasting results across all granularities, including monthly and daily forecasts.

Enhanced customer experience, forecasting is now prominently featured as a primary option in the left menu of DoiT Cloud Analytics. It also allows you to configure your preferred historical period for the model to learn from, as well as your desired forecasting period.


In one of the most commonly used views for reports and dashboard widgets, known as the "stacked column," forecasting is now illustrated through bar charts. This enhancement presents a forecasting range as well for both end-of-month and future projections, moving away from the previous method of displaying a single value at a specific point in time.


To learn more about Forecasting, check out our documentation in the Help Center.

Enhanced Anomaly Detection - Identify unplanned cost spikes on service and SKU level

DoiT Anomaly Detection can now identify unplanned cost spikes at both the service and SKU levels simultaneously, without duplicating the alerts.

Previously, our anomaly detection and alert granularity was at the desired SKU-level to speed up your time-to-resolution when there was an issue. However, when a new SKU was introduced, it took several days to recognize any anomalies due to insufficient data for the machine learning model to analyze effectively. With the recent improvements, we can now detect unplanned cost spikes at the service level, even if they go unnoticed at the SKU level due to data limitations.

Anomalies detected at the service level are automatically flagged and alerted, mirroring the existing functionality for SKU-level cost anomalies. The only visual distinction is that the SKU field will display “ALL” on the list page, view page, and alert notifications.
