AWS CUDOS

Our advice has always been to monitor costs as a fitness function. Cloud providers offer a variety of services to monitor cloud spend such as AWS Cost Explorer or Google Cloud FinOps Hub. In the AWS ecosystem, our teams use the CUDOS (Cost and Usage Dashboards Operations Solution) dashboards to monitor AWS Marketplace spend segregated by the business departments or legal entities in a large parent organization. This dashboard provides comprehensive cost and usage details, with resource-level granularity that helps optimize costs, track usage goals and achieve operational excellence.
