Unmonitored cloud usage leads to budget overruns, hidden costs, and inefficiency. With Applications Manager, IT and FinOps teams gain the visibility they need to make smarter budgeting decisions, detect cost anomalies early, and ensure predictable monthly bills. Complex multi-cloud environments, dynamic pricing, and decentralized usage can make cost tracking difficult.
Monitor what truly drives your cloud costs, and act before expenses rise unexpectedly. Applications Manager tracks key cost drivers and performance metrics across all major cloud resources:
Compute
Instance types, vCPU allocation, and utilization rates to identify over or under-provisioned VMs.
Database
Storage usage, IOPS, and backup activity that directly impact managed database costs.
Network
Data transfer, NAT Gateway usage, and Load Balancer activity that often cause unexpected spikes.
Integration services
API requests, message volume, and event throughput to prevent high-frequency workloads from inflating bills.
Idle & licensing-based resources
Unused VMs, orphaned storage, and inactive licenses that add cost without delivering value.
Storage & object services
Object storage usage, retrieval patterns, and retention settings that influence long-term storage spending.
