We are pleased to announce the FinOps dashboard for distributed teams. In the modern cloud environment, there are different teams provisioning resources. So it’s hard to identify the root cause of cost increases. In this FinOps view, teams can immediately see cost changes at a high level and also identify the actual people or resources that contributed to those cost changes.

You can quickly:

• Track anomalies by teams, products, operation usage type
• Quickly find new resources, products, and usage
• Get to the root causes of the cost faster
• Assign tasks to team members to take action

Through the rapid evolution of the cloud, workloads have become the foundational unit of business value in the cloud. These collections of resources might use common architectural patterns, have common compliance goals, or be owned by specific teams and stakeholders.

nOps continues its mission to align every resource in your cloud environment with your business. In nOps workloads, you can define the competencies, lenses, and frameworks that are key to your workload environment in order to get contextual recommendations, targeted assessments, and detailed reports.

Workloads in nOps help you to group different AWS resources that have been created within your AWS environment. This makes it easier to carry out various assessments on those specific services that make up with Workload. You can add new resources to an already existing workload that has been created.

Automatic recommendation 

nOps present the recommendations and path to remediation based on your workload priority. For example, if you select WAFR for the lens, nOps will recommend you to upload a reliability incident playbook. 

Document repository 

As you upload documents related to the workload, nOps organizes all of the documents related to your workload at one place.  

Integrated reports help you to get workload-centric insights, built-in assessments and auto-detection. It walks you through the process of evaluating and creating improvement plans, built-in budgets help you to plan and track your spend, and document repositories help you to track and manage governance in your environment.

The AWS Well-Architected Tool helps you review the state of your workloads and compares them to the latest AWS architectural best practices. The tool is based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework, developed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient application infrastructure. Well Architected Reviews must be conducted on the production workload on a periodic basis. After conducting the review, you should prioritize the remediation of any identified issues according to your business priorities.

We made some big improvements on how navigation works on nOps.

Workloads provide a level of abstraction to describe and group resources

with a well-defined function and purpose to facilitate observation and

management. Once a workload is defined on nOps, a corresponding

workload is automatically created on your AWS account.

Workload type and resources are defined by using filters like Regions or Services.
