Cost Reporting
CloudCheckr offers a variety of cost based reports. CloudCheckr's cost reports not only show you how much you are paying for your AWS architecture, but they also highlight areas where costs could be better optimized. Billing reports will show your current AWS invoice, how much you have spent on each service, and provide a billing history. If you are tagging your resources within AWS, Cost Allocation reports will show the costs of each key and value combination. We will examine what you have deployed, and layout options to show how your invoice would be affected if you reconfigured your architecture.
Cost Comparison reports show you what you are paying for instances on a monthly basis, and how much money you could potentially save if those instances were converted to Reserved, or On-Demand pricing plans. Cost Warnings reports show areas of concern, such as active but unused features, or the top 10 most expensive instances or objects.
CloudCheckr's cost reports are designed to not only show you what your deployment costs, but show areas of possible savings.
