The AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) records every billable resource in your cloud environment. This includes every single EC2, S3, Reserved Instance, Savings Plan, data transfer fee, and more.

Here at nOps we know the CUR like the back of our hand. We built a suite of enhanced features onto the CUR to help you transform millions of rows of contextless data into the who, what, when, and why of cloud spend. 

Enhanced Showback makes it easy to see where the money is. 

Easy-to-use and carefully curated filters help you to see clear trends and outliers in your financial reporting so you can allocate 100% of AWS cost to different workloads, environments, resource type, or other relevant categories.

Often, engineering teams trying to optimize for cost don’t have real-time visibility into hourly Savings Plan usage. It is very complicated to instantaneously calculate how much commitment is being consumed at any given time and the ideal amount of Spot to use — particularly across multiple AWS accounts.

The release includes new features enabling you to break down your costs by the most useful dimensions, such as:

• Hourly spend by purchase option for any of your environments. See at a glance how your AWS environment (or any slice of it) is balanced across pricing options (RI, SP, Spot…)

Hourly spend by Purchase Option

• The amount of your Savings Plans going underutilized during any given hour.

Amortized filters reveal the amount of Savings Plans you’re using (or not) each hour

• The tools (Databricks, Citrix…) provisioning compute in your environment. View hourly cloud spend by provisioner to pinpoint the products and activities driving your cloud spend. 

Break down cloud costs by tool or service

• The distribution of your compute spend across different AWS compute offerings.
