Cost Allocation, Savings Tracker, AI resource agents, and a redesigned BAM experience – the release that closes the loop on Azure cost management.
Distribute shared costs to the teams that own them
Parent resources like App Service Plans and SQL Elastic Pools host multiple workloads, but their costs appear as a single line. Cost Allocation distributes those shared expenses to child resources using metric-based, equal-split, or percentage approaches.
Teams finally see the true cost of what they own – not an undifferentiated shared bill.
Turn optimisation actions into documented savings
It displays the achievable savings through optimization strategies and track with month-on-month comparison. It doesn’t display the savings achieved through optimization.
Use it to report cost reduction progress to stakeholders and build the business case for continued investment in cloud optimisation.
Your Azure expert, built into every resource
Four AI agents are now embedded directly in Single View of Resource. Understand what a resource does and whether it’s still needed, identify what’s driving its cost and why it fluctuates, get a prioritised checklist of cost issues to audit, and evaluate whether the resource is a candidate for automation scheduling.
Designed to close the knowledge gap for FinOps teams at every level, and to reduce the escalations MSPs handle for routine resource questions.
Plain English for complex Azure data
One click explains any cost analysis chart – covering cost drivers, spend patterns, anomalies, and optimisation opportunities. The same AI explanation is available for Azure Advisor recommendations in both Rightsizing and Reservations, with basic and advanced analysis levels.
Less experienced FinOps users can act confidently without escalating. MSP teams scale L2 support without losing quality.
Group-level costs in your overview and reports
Spending by group is now surfaced directly in the Overview dashboard widgets and Cost Summary reports. Teams and budget owners can see their group’s Azure spend at a glance, without building custom views or exporting to Excel to get the answer.
Gives stakeholders the visibility they need, in the format they already use every day.
Auto-generate your transaction stages from two queries
BAM’s new Designer Mode introduces a visual design interface for data queries. The Auto-Generate function takes a parent and child query and automatically constructs your transaction stages – no manual wiring required.
Teams that previously found BAM setup too complex can now get up and running in minutes, unlocking business process monitoring without deep KQL expertise.
Analyses Logic App resource expenses using run metrics and configuration data, explaining how the Logic App’s implementation drives its costs.
Audits security configurations for any resource and highlights key risks – a fast, AI-driven health check without leaving the screen.
Delivers comprehensive resource summaries – explaining what the resource does and how it’s used – reducing escalations for less experienced team members.
Recommends the right performance metrics to monitor for any resource, based on its configuration and available metric values.
Role-based access control now covers automated task execution and cancellation, giving teams precise control over who can run or stop automation.
A metrics tab is now available within the Cost Intelligence view, bringing resource metric analysis directly alongside cost data in a single screen.
Have peace of mind that your company's data is fully secure and compliant with the latest industry standard certifications.
