UPDATED SERVICES

Azure Reservations Permissions

Cloudaware leverages the latest version of Microsoft Azure API to provide visibility into Azure reserved resources. Customers can assign the Reservation Reader role to the Cloudaware application directly in the Azure console - using PowerShell for batch assignment of permissions is no longer required. As a result, FinOps can measure and analyze coverage and utilization of all Azure reservations across the entire tenant.

Cloudaware also provides advanced BI analytics dashboards for FinOps to identify opportunities for Azure Reservations usage optimization and strategically plan future commitments.

 

AWS Accounts Limits

Cloudaware extends the range of AWS account limits by adding 'Auto Scaling: Groups, Used %', 'ELB: Application Load Balancers, Used %', 'RDS: Custom Endpoints per Cluster, Max', and many more.

Limits referring to AWS EC2 service are added, such as, for example, 'EC2: Reserved Instances, Used', 'EC2: Elastic IPs Standard, Used %', etc. All AWS account limits are displayed in Cloudaware CMDB and reportable.

 

Azure Compute

Cloudaware extends the range of supported Azure Compute services by adding Azure Proximity Placement Groups and Azure Compute Image Gallery. Customers get more visibility into relationships between Azure Subscriptions, Resource Groups and Azure Proximity Placement Groups.

Determine if a VM is created from an image in a shared Compute Image Gallery. Build reports covering connections between Azure Subscriptions, Resource Groups, Azure Compute Image Gallery and Azure Compute Image Gallery Images.

Azure Network

Cloudaware supports the following objects: Azure Private Endpoint, Azure Firewall, Azure DNS Private Zone, Azure DDoS Protection Plan.

 

Azure Storage

Cloudaware supports the following objects: Azure Storage File and Azure Storage Queue. The object Azure Storage Account is updated.

Winter '23 Release

NEW FEATURES

Custom Fisсal Periods

Cloudaware consumes billing data files from cloud vendors as is. Some reports, such as AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR), provide more detailed cost and usage aggregations by hour or day. However, these metrics are still based on a calendar. For every line item, metrics such as 'Usage Start Date' and 'Usage End Date' don't give ground for calculating a resource cost for a specific unit of time.

Cloudaware offers a new approach to cost management under custom fiscal periods. First, a customer describes their fiscal period structure. Next, using advanced logic in Google BigQuery, Cloudaware maps the calendar and custom fiscal dates to generate a unified dataset containing both the 'Report Year-Month' metric and a metric indicating customer-defined fiscal periods. Then, Cloudaware uses this dataset to visualize cloud costs based on customer-defined fiscal periods in the Cloudaware BI Analytics portal:

UPDATED FEATURES

AWS Amortized Costs

Cloudaware supports amortized cost calculations. Customers using AWS Reservations such as Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances can better understand how AWS spending is distributed across billing periods. Leverage Cloudaware advanced analytics:

UPDATED INTEGRATIONS


TunHub for VMware vCenter

Customers leverage Cloudaware TunHub to set up a secure connection between private infrastructure and Cloudaware. The TunHub integration requires the installation of the Cloudaware Breeze agent.
Cloudaware extends Breeze functionality to support vulnerability scanning of VMware vCenter virtual machines. VMware vCenter doesn't have the metadata to retrieve the unique ID required for mapping VMs that need to be scanned and the IDs of Breeze agents installed on those machines. By employing the field 'identityBiosUuid', Cloudaware matches vCenter VMs and Breeze agent IDs to simplify Breeze deployment in vCenter and scanning of vCenter VMs at scale.
