The platform provides unified visibility into AWS cloud spending, helping organizations track financial performance, detect anomalies, and identify potential cost-saving opportunities. The **FinOps module** includes the following sections: - **Overview** - **AWS Cost Analyzer** - **Saving Opportunities** - **AWS Cost Map** These features help finance and engineering teams gain deeper insights into cloud spending and improve cost optimization strategies. ### FinOps Overview The **FinOps Overview** dashboard provides a summary of cloud financial operations and cost monitoring. - **Current Month Spend** – Displays the total AWS spending for the current billing period. - **Spend vs Last Month** – Shows cost changes compared to the previous month. - **Potential Yearly Savings** – Estimates cost reductions achievable through savings plans. - **Budget Status** – Displays configured budget monitoring alerts. The dashboard also includes a **Savings Plan Overview** section that tracks: - Active savings plans - Savings plan coverage - Total commitment - Estimated yearly savings Additionally, the **Daily Cost Trend** chart helps visualize spending patterns and identify cost fluctuations over time. 🔹 **Why it’s useful:** This overview provides a centralized snapshot of financial operations, allowing teams to quickly evaluate cloud cost performance and potential optimization opportunities. [![Untitled design (6).png](https://xops-docs.axiomio.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/3TYZiUXf7Gd9HfZH-untitled-design-6.png)](https://xops-docs.axiomio.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/3TYZiUXf7Gd9HfZH-untitled-design-6.png) --- ### **AWS Cost Analyzer** The **AWS Cost Analyzer** provides detailed visibility into AWS spending and cost distribution. Key capabilities include: - **Cost Summary** – Displays total spend to date, forecasted costs, and comparisons with previous months. - **Cost Monitor** – Detects anomalies or unusual spending patterns. - **Monthly AWS Spend History** – Shows historical cost trends across multiple months. - **AWS Spend by Region** – Visualizes spending distribution across AWS regions. - **AWS Spend by Service** – Highlights the services contributing the most to overall costs. 🔹 **Why it’s better:** Unlike basic billing dashboards, this analyzer provides **multi-dimensional insights** into spending patterns, making it easier to identify cost drivers and detect anomalies early. [![Untitled design (7).png](https://xops-docs.axiomio.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/hhpjWicR880cGvvV-untitled-design-7.png)](https://xops-docs.axiomio.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/hhpjWicR880cGvvV-untitled-design-7.png) --- ### Saving Opportunities The **Saving Opportunities** section identifies AWS services that could benefit from cost optimization strategies. The platform evaluates usage patterns and suggests opportunities for services such as: - **Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)** - **Amazon Redshift** - **Amazon ElastiCache** - **Amazon MemoryDB** - **Amazon OpenSearch Service** These insights help teams determine where **Reserved Instances or savings plans** can reduce costs. 🔹 **Why it’s better:** Instead of manually analyzing cloud usage, this feature automatically identifies workloads that could benefit from optimized pricing models, helping organizations reduce cloud expenses efficiently. [![Untitled design (8).png](https://xops-docs.axiomio.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/BsU664iAh06Rw39c-untitled-design-8.png)](https://xops-docs.axiomio.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/BsU664iAh06Rw39c-untitled-design-8.png) --- ### AWS Cost Map The **AWS Cost Map** provides a detailed visualization of AWS cost and usage trends. Key features include: - **Total Cost** – Displays the overall cloud spending within the selected time range. - **Average Daily Cost** – Shows average daily spending trends. - **Service Count** – Displays the number of AWS services contributing to costs. Additional capabilities include: - **Cost and Usage Graph** – Visualizes daily cost distribution by AWS service. - **Cost and Usage Breakdown Table** – Displays detailed cost data per service. - **Filtering Options** – Allows filtering by date range, granularity, and resource tags. - **CSV Export** – Enables downloading cost data for external analysis and reporting. 🔹 **Why it’s better:** Unlike traditional billing dashboards that show only aggregated monthly costs, the Cost Map provides **granular daily insights**, helping teams detect cost spikes early and maintain better cost control.
