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.

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.

The update transforms your cloud data into clear, prioritized actions so you spend less time investigating and more time optimizing your cloud investments.

Here’s how you can use the various widgets of your new home dashboard:

Commitment Manager gives you precise, flexible tracking of your cloud commitment attainment, helping FinOps, finance, and engineering teams plan cloud spend ahead of time to realize their contract discounts while avoiding shortfalls and penalties.

Cloud commitment contracts offer significant discounts that can dramatically reduce your infrastructure costs—but only if you consistently meet your spending targets.

Manual tracking methods often lead to delayed insights, making it difficult to course-correct before reaching important spending milestones and potentially resulting in missed commitment targets.

That’s why we’re announcing the launch of Commitment Manager, the evolution of Ramp Plans designed to give you a streamlined, flexible, and comprehensive visibility into your cloud commitments.

Key improvements include:

• Contextualized insights that account for marketplace consumption limits and your specific contractual terms.
• Enhanced visualization with daily updates, detailed service-level breakdowns for marketplace spend, and period-by-period commitment tracking.
• Greater flexibility to accommodate complex scenarios like contract amendments, promotional credits, and excess/shortfall rollovers.
• Track all your commitments in one place regardless of whether they were signed through DoiT or directly with cloud providers, giving you a single unified view of all your cloud commitment tracking.

Good news for existing Ramp Plans users: most commitment(s) have been automatically migrated to Commitment Manager, and you'll immediately benefit from the improved tracking and enhanced visualization capabilities without any action required on your part. If you do not see your commitment, reach out to your DoiT Account Manager to have it set up. 

If you have a direct commitment with a cloud provider or weren't previously tracking your commitments in Ramp Plans, create a new commitment in Commitment Manager to explore the full experience!

DoiT CloudFlow, our no-code FinOps workflow automation solution, helps you take decisive action on FinOps recommendations, optimize workloads, reduce waste, and significantly improve cost management.

Today we’re launching DoiT's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for DoiT Cloud Intelligence™, allowing you to instantly get insights on your cloud usage by asking plain-language questions through any Large Language Model (LLM) tools that support MCP like Claude and Cursor.

Instead of navigating complex dashboards or writing custom queries, you can now ask natural language questions about your cloud infrastructure through any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

What can you do with the DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ MCP server?

Our MCP server connects your cloud data from the DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ platform directly to your existing AI solution, enabling you to gain a variety of FinOps-related insights without interrupting your ongoing workflows:

• Find what's driving your cloud costs: Identify your highest spend areas, dig into resource-level details, and uncover hidden charges that might be inflating your bill

• Spot cloud outages impacting your applications: Get real-time information about active cloud provider incidents that might be affecting your systems, including detailed error messages and resolution timelines

• Detect unusual cost patterns: Quickly identify anomalies in your cloud spending and dig into the specific resources causing unexpected charges

Getting started is simple

To use DoiT's MCP server, you'll need:

• Node.js v18 or higher
• Your DoiT API key (grab this from your DoiT profile)

Once you have these, configure your AI client that supports MCP to access data from our DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ platform by updating its configuration file to include the DoIT MCP server connection details.

For detailed setup instructions, check out our GitHub repository or the DoiT Developer Hub.

This is just the beginning – we're actively expanding our MCP server to support more DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ features, bringing conversational access to your entire FinOps management experience.

Try it today and experience how much easier cloud cost analysis becomes when your AI tools have direct access to your actual cloud data!

DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ now goes beyond surface-level savings by surfacing insights from all AWS Well-Architected categories – not just Cost Optimization and Security. That means more than 200 additional checks across Performance, Reliability, and Operational Excellence are now part of your unified view:

But this isn't just about more alerts, it's about smarter context. By layering intent-aware FinOps logic, DoiT helps you distinguish between actual waste and justified spend. What looks "efficient" on a dashboard might actually be masking architectural debt or performance risks. Now you can spot those patterns, prioritize with confidence, and act on what truly matters. 

To view these recommendations, make sure your AWS accounts with AWS Business Support and higher are linked to DoiT Cloud Intelligence. If you have already connected your accounts, you will automatically see the insights from the new categories.

DoiT Cloud Intelligence's new OpenAI integration lets you see all your OpenAI and cloud costs in one place, making it easier for FinOps and engineering teams to track, manage, and optimize their complete technology investments

After connecting your OpenAI account(s), you can explore your OpenAI cost and usage in DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ in several ways:

1. OpenAI Lens: Ready-to-use dashboard providing a comprehensive overview of your OpenAI costs and usage with views into your cost by model, daily spend by project, and more.

2. Cost Allocation: Allocate your OpenAI spend by business purpose (production vs. development, product A vs. product B) using the new dimensions from the OpenAI integration — or combine OpenAI costs with your cloud and other imported costs in a single allocation for complete cost visibility across all your technology investments.

In the example below, we’re creating allocations that track OpenAI costs across development and production environments for two different AI tools: a customer assistant and a product description generator.

3. Custom Reports: Build reports querying the new dimensions and system labels imported through the OpenAI integration that help you understand aspects of your OpenAI spend and usage. 

For example, you can break down OpenAI spending by individual users across your organization to understand consumption patterns and implement appropriate quotas.

4. Anomaly Detection: Automatically surface unusual patterns in your teams’ OpenAI usage and take action before it impacts your bill and operations.

5. Unified view of IT costs: View OpenAI costs alongside your cloud costs and other imported 3rd-party tool costs (DataDog, Snowflake) in your Pulse dashboard, a preset dashboard giving you an at-a-glance view of all your cloud and 3rd party tooling costs together.

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

To learn more about OpenAI integration please check out our documentation in the DoiT Help Center.
