What is OpsLyft
A tour of the OpsLyft v2 workspace and how its modules fit together.
OpsLyft is a FinOps platform for teams that pay for more than one cloud. It reads billing and usage data from your providers, normalises it into one cost model, and gives each team a way to see, question, and reduce what they spend.
How OpsLyft works
Connect your providers
OpsLyft uses read-only access to pull billing exports and resource metadata from each provider. It cannot change, stop, or delete anything in your accounts. See Integrations.
OpsLyft normalises the bill
Costs from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, Snowflake, Databricks, Kubernetes, OpenAI, and Anthropic land in one warehouse with shared dimensions such as Provider, Account, Service, and Charge Type, plus every provider-specific dimension and tag key.
Your teams analyse and act
Iris, Cost Explorer, Atlas, Monitor, and Tickets all read the same data, so a number in a chat answer matches the number in Explorer and on the ticket.
The modules
| Module | Where in the app | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Iris | Observe → Iris home | Ask questions in plain English. Describe a dashboard and Iris builds it as a canvas. |
| Canvases | Observe → Canvas | Shareable dashboards made of widgets. Iris can read and explain each one. |
| Cost Explorer | Observe → Cost Explorer | Filter, group, and compare spend. Save the result as a view. |
| Live inventory | Atlas → Inventory | Every resource, what it costs per month, and what's wrong with it. |
| Change history | Atlas → History | What was added, removed, or changed in a window, and what each change costs. |
| Optimisation | Atlas → Optimisation | Savings opportunities with an owner, an effort score, and a ticket. |
| Anomalies | Monitor → Anomalies | Spend that left its expected pattern, with the resource and owner behind it. |
| Budgets & alerts | Monitor → Budgets | Thresholds that notify Slack and email when a period's cost passes them. |
| Tickets | Tickets | The work that comes out of findings, synced two ways with Jira. |
| Datasets | Datasets | Business data (revenue, usage, org hierarchy) that joins to cloud cost. |
Who uses OpsLyft
OpsLyft tunes your home page, pinned views, and the way Iris phrases answers to the role you pick during onboarding.
You own the practice: allocation, savings, and reporting to everyone else. Start with Optimisation, allocation, and the Tickets board.
