Custom Datasets: Curate, Join or Merge Datasets (New Experience)

We are pleased to announce the general availability of UI based curation, join and merge capabilities. Customers can now turn large datasets into smaller curated datasets, or join and merge many datasets to calculate unit costs and perform multicloud reporting. 

Users can choose between 4 types of JOIN, or two types of MERGE without having to write complex SQL. Datasets can be set to public or private visibility to allow iteration on datasets. Datasets are instantly available to create reports on. Learn more in the documentation section.

GCP Cost History: New GKE Dimensions

For the first phase of full GKE support in the platform, two new dimensions have been added to the GCP Cost History Report; Namespace Name and Cluster Name. Customers can now see containerized spend from GKE alongside non containerized GCP spend. A dedicated GKE Cost History report will be coming in a future release.

In order to see these new dimensions, customers must have the Detailed Usage Billing Export and GKE Cost Allocation enabled.

Asset Support for Azure Container Applications

Azure Container Apps are now available within the new experience Asset Explorer. Customers can now monitor min replica settings, HTTP concurrency and more using the newly collected Asset and its metadata. ACA is now categorizable in perspectives and usable within missing tag policies. 

Column Editor Changes (New Experience)

We have introduced a new column editor location on Assets and Smart Summary. To improve the UX this new column editor supports search, and will apply column selection upon close. This new column editor will replace the existing manage columns feature on all reports over future releases.

Anomaly Detection: Support for GCP (New Experience)

We are pleased to extend Anomaly Detection in the New Experience to GCP, now including support for Marketplace charges, in addition to existing AWS and Azure coverage. This enhancement detects unusual changes in GCP core spend and marketplace spend, and gives you clear ownership to investigate and take action - making your multicloud strategy more cost-effective.

With Anomaly Detection, you can identify spend anomalies across your cloud portfolio and quickly investigate using flexible filters such as time period, account, service, region, marketplace, and cost impact. You can also sort and search results to focus on the anomalies that matter most across three major cloud providers. For more details, please refer to the Help Center article.
