  • Compute Engine

  • Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

  • Cloud Functions

  • Cloud Run

  • Cloud SQL

  • Cloud Spanner

  • App Engine

  • Firestore and Datastore

GCP Perspective Support in FlexReports – General Availability

We are announcing the general availability Perspective support for GCP data in FlexReports, enhancing usability for our customers using Perspectives to help manage GCP resources. Perspectives created with assets will now have detailed export support from GCP, and existing Perspectives created using CARLL (Cost Allocation by Resource Level Label) will be available as a new dimension in FlexReports.

New GCP BigQuery Cost Report – Public Beta

We are happy to announce the public beta release of BigQuery Cost Report. This will appear at the left navigation panel under the “Cost” section. You can now quickly look at your BigQuery cost across services (like different storage, analysis, various related APIs), accounts, locations, coverage type etc., generated by FlexReports. This helps the users access the dedicated pre-build report and then enhances that further as per specific business need.

FlexOrgs Account Reassign

We are excited to share a bulk action to “Reassign” accounts between FlexOrgs! Previously, admins had to ‘Remove’ accounts up the hierarchy and ‘Assign accounts’ to the new location – you can now do this in one action. After reassigning accounts, you can jump via hyperlink to the new location to double-check all accounts moved as expected. This is available via both GraphQL API and the UI.

Updates to FlexReports

We have added the following new features to FlexReports:

  • High-definition charts – We have now enabled high-definition charts in FlexReports that allows clear images after download.

  • Subscribing to FlexReports: Chart option – If the chart type is enabled while creating a FlexReport, when the user subscribes to the FlexReport, it will show the chart type in the subscription mail.

AWS Test Access – New Region Support: us-west-2

AWS support for the new region, us-west-2, is now supported in the account configuration process. This region is utilized to validate the read-only IAM Access policy for the account, ensuring test access. Customers can choose us-west-2 as the supported region by overriding the current configuration under the Primary AWS Region setting.
