What Is Observability?
Cloud cost observability is the practice of monitoring cloud spending to gain insights into resource usage, what’s driving your costs, and opportunities to optimize. Vantage offers the following observability tools:- Cost Anomalies
- Cost Recommendations
Cost anomalies in Vantage notify teams of excess costs and help engineers fix misconfigurations or other problems before they become very expensive.
Why Should I Use Observability Tools?
It’s always better to know about something before it happens. Recommendations and anomaly alerts are tools that let you know about increasing costs. They provide a way for you to quickly act and implement cost-saving measures for your organization before costs get out of hand.Observability Tools Use Cases
