CCM FAQs

💡 Misconceptions About Cloud Cost Ownership​

Cost is my CFO’s problem

If your CFO is managing your cost, you’re being reactive to cloud changes. Your team can be proactive and mitigate any cost spikes.

After I reduce my costs, I won't need Cloud Cost Management

Reducing cost isn’t a one-time event. Engineering and finance need constant feedback to innovate and change. Hence Cloud Cost Management.

🧩 Misunderstanding Cloud Platform Visibility​

My cloud platform already gives me visibility into the cost

Cloud platforms don’t let you see the cost at a granular level, for example, application, clusters, nodes, workloads, namespaces.

I know my cloud platform is accurate, how do I know your tool is accurate?

CE uses the same cost and usage report as your cloud platform.

⚙️ Feature Capabilities and Automation​

I have already tagged everything, why would I need Cloud Cost Management?

You will have to re-tag everything if you:

  • Create a new application
  • Deploy a new microservice
  • Or your company, team, or project is re-organized

📊 Budgets, Alerts, and Reports​

After we've identified our costs, will Continuous Efficiency help us reduce them?

Budgeting and alert thresholds are built into CE, with more features on the way.

Can your tool create custom reports and alerts?

Yes. CE provides alerts, reports, and forecasts you can fine-tune.
