Cost Explorer
Filter, group, and compare spend across every provider. Cost Explorer replaces v1 Cost Analyzer.
Cost Explorer is where you slice spend. Pick the clouds and cost type, filter to what matters, group by any dimension, and drill down through a hierarchy. Save the result as a view, add it to a canvas, or export it.
Coming from v1? Your saved Cost Analyzer reports are now Cost Explorer views, with the same filters and grouping.
