We’re excited to share that DoiT Cloud Intelligence™, our intent-aware automation-first FinOps platform, has earned the “Deployed on AWS” designation on AWS Marketplace. This confirms that our SaaS offering is fully hosted on AWS and aligned with the latest AWS Marketplace eligibility requirements.

Starting May 1, 2025, AWS requires that SaaS products be entirely deployed on AWS and carry the “Deployed on AWS” badge to qualify for spend retirement under Private Pricing Agreements (PPA). DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ meets these new criteria, meaning customers can continue retiring their PPA commitments when purchasing DoiT Cloud Intelligence via AWS Marketplace and retain the financial benefits included in those agreements. This update makes it even easier for AWS customers to adopt DoiT Cloud Intelligence while maximizing the value of their AWS commercial terms.

Make the cloud work. Without slowing down.

DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ is purpose-built for fast-moving teams operating in complex AWS environments. It provides real-time cost visibility, optimization insights, and policy-based automation to reduce waste and enforce standards at scale, without adding friction to your engineering workflows.

With CloudFlow™, you can codify FinOps practices, automate remediations, and integrate with your tooling, all while respecting your existing AWS architecture and operational velocity. DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ also includes real-time anomaly detection to catch cost spikes as they happen, Threads™  to drive accountability by operationalizing FinOps across teams, and PerfectScale™ to ensure your Kubernetes, Compute, and Spot infrastructure continuously self-optimizes for efficiency, performance, and availability.

Simplified procurement, aligned incentives

Through AWS Marketplace, customers benefit from faster onboarding, reduced procurement overhead, and the ability to align DoiT Cloud Intelligence spend with their existing AWS PPA, with full compliance under AWS’s updated guidelines.

What’s next

We’ll continue to deepen our integration with AWS-native services, expand automation capabilities, and provide the tools needed to scale FinOps maturity across organizations.

CloudFlow steps that call AWS APIs can now include “Waiters” – built-in polling mechanisms that block execution until a resource reaches a specified state (for example, an EC2 instance enters “running,” or a CloudFormation stack reaches “CREATE_COMPLETE” state). 

The flow does not advance until the waiter confirms the target condition, eliminating timing-related race conditions and “false-positive” successes.

Why this matters:

• Deterministic pipelines: By making each step state-aware, you remove arbitrary sleep statements and ad-hoc retries. That yields predictable, repeatable deployments and fewer flaky builds.
• Lower failure rates: Waiters leverage AWS service-specific back-off logic and error handling, so you avoid cascading errors caused by resources that are still provisioning.
• Tunable latency: The default poll interval is 15 seconds, but you can override MinDelay, MaxDelay, and MaxAttempts to balance pipeline speed against API call volume.
• Cost-efficient polling: Purpose-built waiters replace tight loops or aggressive custom polling, reducing superfluous API calls and the associated request charges.
• Optimized resource billing: Downstream tasks start only when prerequisites are truly ready, so you don’t keep compute, container, or runner capacity idle while waiting for eventual consistency.
• Predictable spend: More deterministic execution times make it easier to forecast run-time costs and spot anomalies.

To enable a waiter, add the waiter configuration block to any CloudFlow step that invokes an AWS API.

We're launching the DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ remote MCP server, making it easy for you to access your real-time cloud cost and usage data through AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. 

Anyone can now ask plain-language questions about their cloud usage, connect it to business context  — like “Can you connect our recent database cost spike to any Jira tickets?” (see example below 👇 ) — and get instant, context-rich answers.

What's different with remote access?

Our remote MCP server eliminates the technical setup that our previously-launched local version required, making conversational cloud cost analysis accessible to finance teams, executives, and other business stakeholders. 

Here's what makes the remote approach different:

• Easy setup: Connect AI tools to your cost data without any technical setup—no Node.js installations or configuration troubleshooting that come with locally-hosted MCP servers.
• Real-time data access: Our remote server maintains live connections to your DoiT Cloud Intelligence data, ensuring everyone accesses the same, current information without having to manually update to the latest version.

Democratizing cloud intelligence beyond technical teams

This remote approach brings cloud intelligence directly to non-technical roles across your company. 

And for even richer insights, you can connect with MCP servers from other tools you use (ex. Jira, Slack, GitHub) to understand the full business context behind your cost data:

Finance teams can analyze budget variance and forecast accuracy during monthly reviews.

For example: You can use Claude to get the full business context behind a 30% budget overrun highlighted in Budgets by connecting it to an approved GPU increase documented in Jira.

Product managers can evaluate feature profitability and unit economics for roadmap decisions.

For example: When analyzing a new feature costing $350/day (15% over budget), you can correlate it with performance issues listed in Jira tasks and Zendesk tickets and enable more-informed cost/performance trade-off conversations.

Operations teams can correlate infrastructure changes with spending pattern.

When you ask Claude about a 25% EC2 cost spike highlighted by Anomaly Detection, you can determine whether or not it was a planned scaling event by connecting it to a recent deployment in Jira and engineer discussions in Slack.

Your Home Dashboard now includes four new widgets to complement your existing optimization widgets to give you a complete financial picture for faster decision-making.

What's added:

1. Current month spend: See exactly where you stand with real-time spend data for the current month.
2. Current month forecast: View projected costs based on your current usage patterns to anticipate your month-end spending.
3. Current month savings: Track your realized savings from Flexsave, Spot Scaling, and PerfectScale (coming soon).
4. Security insights: Get visibility into security risks requiring attention, with recommendations for access control, encryption, identity management, and compliance.

With the additional context added to your Home Dashboard, you can better identify what needs attention and prioritize your optimization efforts.

Find your updated dashboard by clicking Home in the top navigation (or whenever you log in to the DoiT console).

Once your own team, or DoiT Cloud Architects during an Expert Inquiry, has completed technical diligence, you can label the Insight with the status that truly reflects its outcome. From the Insight detail view, pick one of:

• Actionable
• Acknowledged
• In Progress
• Optimized
• Dismissed

Choosing the correct status after diligence keeps tracking honest, shows clear progress, and fits straight into your existing workflow.

You’ll find the status menu in the top-right corner of the Insight detail view.

Starting from a blank report just got a whole lot easier.

We’ve integrated AI—directly into the new Report user interface to help you go from zero to insight in seconds.

You can use natural language prompts like:

• “Show my top five cost drivers across all projects for Q2 2025”
• “Break down Kubernetes cluster spend by namespace for the last 30 days”
• “Compare my costs for Compute Engine and Cloud Storage for the last 7 days.”

It understands your request, queries your billing data, and automatically generates the report visualization, all within the same view.

Once the report is ready, it leaves you with a fully interactive chart and all standard filters available to refine further.

This is just the beginning of AI in Cloud Cost Analytics, designed to accelerate and simplify complex report creation. More capabilities are coming soon.

Head to Analyze > Reports and try it for yourself.

DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ now offers new APIs to facilitate automated user management. Using our new Users API, you can get a list of your users, invite new users, and update or delete existing users.

When inviting new users with the new API, you can optionally assign a non-default role and an organization to them, which you can list with the new Roles and Organizations endpoints.

We’ve updated Cloud Diagrams to include AWS cost data and heatmaps highlighting your most expensive resources. Now you can see not just how your cloud infrastructure is built, but how much each component costs. 

With cost data available directly in your infrastructure diagrams, you’ll be able to view expensive resources in the context of their architectural dependencies and understand how costs flow through your infrastructure.

Here’s what’s new:

Costs view: Click on any infrastructure component to access detailed cost data, trends, and breakdowns alongside its properties and any groupings (security groups, regions, VPCs, subnets) it’s associated with.

Cost heatmap: Highlight your diagram’s most expensive components over customizable time periods to identify optimization opportunities and understand spending patterns across your architecture.

With cost data accessible from your diagrams, you’ll be able to:

• Optimize costs with full context: The heatmap shows you where to focus optimization efforts while ensuring you understand dependencies before making changes.
• Make architecture decisions with business impact in mind: Understand the financial impact of infrastructure components to make more informed architectural decisions.
• Align teams around shared cost visibility: Finance and engineering teams can now discuss costs while looking at the same architectural view, eliminating potential translation barriers between billing data and technical infrastructure.

Ready to see your infrastructure costs in context?

Explore Cloud Diagrams in the DoiT console or take a self-guided tour.

Cloud Diagrams is available for all AWS customers on the DoiT Cloud Intelligence Enhanced or Enterprise tiers, as well as on the DoiT Cloud Navigator Enhanced, Premium or Enterprise tiers.

DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ now supports group-based SSO integration so you can automate user access management instead of configuring each user’s role and permissions individually. 

If your team structure is already defined in your SSO groups, you can directly map those same groups to DoiT Cloud Intelligence roles so your users will automatically have the correct permissions when they first log in.

To map your SSO groups to specific roles, navigate to your IdP or the “single sign-on” page in the DoiT console and map your current SSO groups (like "Engineering" or "Finance") to the corresponding roles you want users in those groups to have in DoiT Cloud Intelligence.

Previously, you could configure SSO integration by setting role attributes on individual users in your IdP, which worked well for simple setups. This new group-based approach scales much better for companies managing larger teams or complex permission structures.

With a group-based approach, new users will automatically get proper access from the start, ensuring consistent access control across your tools and removing any manual role assignment work on your part.

Managing cloud costs shouldn’t feel like detective work. That’s why we've made your home dashboard more actionable to deliver the critical information you need to act on—right when you log in.
