Tools and practices for monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing cloud spending to prevent budget overruns and identify cost-saving opportunities.
Cost Management alerts you when your cloud bill exceeds $500 and suggests switching to cheaper storage options for old files.
All major clouds provide cost visibility (reports/dashboards), forecasting, budgets and alerts, and optimization recommendations. AWS groups these across Cost Explorer and Budgets; Azure centralizes them in Cost Management + Billing; GCP uses Billing reports with Budgets/alerts and Recommender; OCI provides Cost Analysis with Budgets and detailed usage reports.
