Product Updates: July 24, 2024

Cloudchipr is excited to announce several new features and enhancements. This release includes our new Recommendations For Commitments feature, a new Terraform connection flow, support for organizing views in Resource Explorer using folders, and improved Slack integration.

Recommendations For Commitments:

This feature allows to view Saving Plans recommendations. It supports recommendations for all three types of Savings Plans:

• Compute
• EC2
• Sagemaker

Below is an example of EC2 commitment recommendations with the following fields:

Recommendation Level:

• Payer: Provides recommendations at the master account level, considering usage across all accounts with enabled Reserved Instances (RI) or Savings Plans discount sharing.
• Linked Account: Offers recommendations at the individual account level

• Savings Plans Term: Choose between 1-year and 3-year terms.
• Payment Option: Select from All upfront, Partial upfront, and No upfront.
• Based On The Past: Analyze based on usage from the past 7 days, 30 days, and 60 days.

Additional Sections on the Recommendations Page:

• Before and After Recommended Purchase: Compare potential savings before and after implementing recommendations.

• Recommendation Details: Expandable section with detailed information about each recommendation.

The recommendations section was also added to the following drawers in the Utilization & Coverage Tab of the Commitments feature:

• Savings Plan Drawer
• Resource Type Drawer
• Coverage / Account Drawer

Terraform Connection Flow

Cloudchipr has introduced a new connection flow: Run Through Terraform. This option, available only for AWS, allows to add all the necessary roles and permissions through terraform instead of AWS Cloudformation stack.

Resource Explorer: Support Folders for Views

Cloudchipr has introduced a new feature that allows users to create and manage folders within the Resource Explorer. This enhancement helps organize views by moving them into folders, making them easier to find and manage.

Feature Details:

1. Folder Creation

Users can now create multiple folders within the Resource Explorer to better organize their views.

2. Folder Management

Managing these folders includes several actions:

• Folder Actions: Users can rename, add views to, or delete folders.

• View Actions:

• For views inside folders: Users can rename, move, or delete them. The move action is always available, allowing views to be moved out if there are no other folders.

• For views outside folders: Users can rename, move, or delete them. The move action is only active if there are existing folders. If no folders are available, the move action is disabled, and a tooltip will explain the lack of available folders.

You can just drag and drop to move views and folders.

Integrations: Sending a test message from Slack

Users can now send a test message to verify their connection.

As always, in addition to the features above, we have released numerous improvements based on the invaluable feedback from our beloved users 🙂 ❤️ 🎉
