We are thrilled to announce a significant update to DoiT Navigator - our software for engineering-led FinOps teams, designed to bring unparalleled clarity and control over your Google Cloud Storage (GCS) costs. With Google Cloud Storage ranking among the top 5 cloud services for most Google Cloud customers, understanding and optimizing your storage spend is more crucial than ever. Our latest feature rollout enables a comprehensive breakdown of GCS costs by bucket, by cost type, and uploads by bucket, ensuring that every penny of your cloud storage spend is accounted for and optimized.

What's New?

• Cost Breakdown by Bucket: Get a detailed view of how your storage costs are distributed across different GCS buckets. This feature lets you identify high-cost buckets and assess their utility to your organization.
• Insight into Cost Type: Understand your spending pattern with a breakdown by cost type. This insight helps you distinguish between different expenses, such as storage, network, and operations costs, enabling you to target specific areas for cost optimization.
• Uploads by Bucket Analysis: Gain visibility into upload activities across your buckets. This analysis is key to understanding data ingestion patterns and their impact on overall storage costs.

Enhanced GCP Lens dashboard: Our GCP Lens dashboard now comes equipped with these widgets by default for all customers utilizing Google Cloud Storage. With this integration, you can enjoy immediate access to these new insights without additional setup.
