New in Reports: Easily Understand Cost Flow With Sankey Charts
Sankey charts are a type of flow diagram in which the width of the arrows is proportional to the flow quantity. In FinOps context, they visually represent how cloud spend moves from a source (like cloud accounts or projects) to a destination (such as services or labels). They are particularly effective at showing cost transfers and transformations.
Starting today, you can now use Sankey charts in DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ to visualize how your cloud spend flows across services, projects, labels, and other dimensions. This new visualization helps you understand cost distribution, identify unexpected patterns, and surface high-impact cost drivers in complex environments.
What you can do with Sankey charts:
- Trace spend across multiple dimensions: See how costs move from source to destination - such as from cloud accounts to services, or projects to labels.
- Identify inefficiencies: Quickly detect cost concentrations or flows that don’t align with expectations.
- Customize the view to your business: Choose any combination of source and target dimensions to reflect your internal org or architecture.
No configuration changes are needed. Just select your Report dimensions and explore the flow as a Sankey chart.
