Take control of your workspace: 

Effortlessly create, browse, and add dashboards to suit your specific needs

Stay tuned for more updates that will continue to empower you to visualize and manage your cloud, with even greater efficiency!

DoiT Cloud Navigator now offers enhanced invoice configurability, allowing you to receive a separate invoice for your AWS Marketplace expenditures. This feature helps you avoid the time-consuming task of separating Marketplace spend from your overall cloud expenses, ensuring more accurate cost allocation.

On your billing profile page in Cloud Navigator, you will now see a new configuration option under “invoice settings” to separate your Marketplace spend using one of two choices:

• Create individual invoices for each purchase: Receive one invoice per item you've purchased via the AWS Marketplace.
• Create a single invoice with line items for each purchase: Receive one invoice including all the items you've purchased via the AWS Marketplace.

Once the changes are made before the end of the calendar month, the new configuration will reflect automatically in your next invoice of cloud spend. To learn more about invoicing configurability options, please refer to this documentation.

DoiT Invoice Explainer now provides even more granular visibility into your AWS cloud bill with additional cost breakdowns at the service and account levels. Whether you’re a business or technical stakeholder, this additional granularity will cut down the time that you spend trying to understand your billing, transforming it into a seamless and transparent process.

Navigating the complexities of cloud billing can often be challenging, especially when dealing with two invoices: one from AWS to DoiT and another from DoiT to you. Each has its unique layout and pricing strategy, potentially leading to confusion. Invoice Explainer, originally launched earlier this year, is designed to simplify and clarify these discrepancies. 

In this latest release, we have enhanced the existing experience by providing further breakdown of cost per account and cost per service. For every account or service, we provide further cost breakdown into parameters like usage, saving plans, discounts, etc. 

Invoice Explainer can be accessed by opening your AWS invoice in the DoiT console and clicking the ‘Understand this invoice’ button at the top. It offers a guided experience with complete transparency to help you understand your AWS invoices along with what AWS charges to DoiT.

Cloud Analytics reports in DoiT Cloud Navigator now support AWS Organization Tags as an additional dimension for filtering and grouping your data.

Organization Tags are custom attribute labels that you can assign to AWS resources within an AWS Organization. They help categorize and organize resources for cost allocation, management, and governance. These tags can include metadata such as project name, department, or cost center, enabling more efficient resource tracking and billing management across different teams and projects.

Benefits of AWS Organization Tags include:

• Centralized Management: Enforces consistent tagging across all AWS accounts
• Improved Governance: Standardizes tags for better compliance
• Enhanced Cost Allocation: Facilitates detailed cost tracking
• Operational Efficiency: Streamlines resource identification

To start using this dimension within Cloud Navigator, assign permissions in your Amazon Web Services Settings page. Once assigned, AWS Organization Tags will automatically propagate into Cloud Analytics reports, attributions, and attribution groups. These tags are available under the Organization Tags section in your report filters and group-by option. To learn more about Organization tags, please refer to this documentation. 

Reports generated with EKS Lens data are now able to show amortized costs and savings, providing more accurate and granular cost visibility for your EKS clusters.

These amortized data metrics**, which are available via the dropdown menu on the report settings menu, are calculated for each EKS pod, just like the regular cost and usage metrics. They provide deeper insights than what is available with a simple AWS Cost and Usage Report (AWS CUR), by spreading the upfront and recurring charges like Reserved Instances (RIs) and Savings Plans (SPs).

By viewing your amortized EKS billing data, you can more easily and accurately forecast your EKS clusters, thus enabling more reliable decisions about your budgeting and savings strategies.

To learn more about EKS Lens and amortized data, visit the resources below, or reach out to your DoiT account team:

• DoiT Help Center: EKS Lens | Understand EKS costs | AWS amortized data
• EKS Lens interactive tour

**Note: EKS Lens requires a subscription to the Enhanced tier of DoiT Cloud Navigator. Using amortized data in regular Cloud Analytics reports requires a Standard subscription or higher.

We are excited to introduce DataHub, a powerful new capability in DoiT Cloud Navigator that enables you to see all of the expenses that impact your business through a single pane of glass and accurately attribute them to teams, products, environments, or any other business-specific categories.

DataHub – now available for customers with a Premium subscription to Cloud Navigator – enables you to integrate and manage costs beyond your Amazon Web Services, Azure, or Google Cloud expenses. Simply use the DataHub API to send any arbitrary data, including cost data, business metrics, or events. This new data becomes accessible across all Cloud Navigator features including reports, dashboards, attributions, and attribution groups.

Starting with an API-first approach, we will quickly expand to offer additional ways to import your data into DoiT Cloud Navigator. Future enhancements will include integrating Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, uploads from storage buckets, and connectors to your BI systems. Additionally, we will help you identify anomalies in your data, similar to how we handle public cloud cost anomalies.

DataHub is part of a broader initiative that unlocks numerous additional capabilities, including Cloud Unit Economics. Imagine tracking your cost per business transaction, tailored to your specific business model—whether it’s cost per ride for Uber or cost per ad impression for an ad company. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
