Cloud Billing¶
The Guance cloud billing feature is a comprehensive solution for cloud cost management and analysis. It integrates multiple functions such as data collection, multi-dimensional analysis, and real-time monitoring, aiming to help businesses optimize the use of cloud resources and control costs. By efficiently collecting cloud billing data through DataFlux Func (Automata), it ensures the accuracy and real-time nature of the data.
You can use the Cloud Billing Explorer to conveniently browse and filter cost information from different cloud service providers, thereby achieving full control over cloud resource consumption.
In addition, Guance provides the ability to perform in-depth analysis of cloud resource consumption through the Use Cases View feature, covering all levels from products, regions to instance levels. This enables you to identify hotspots and inefficient areas of resource consumption and predict future resource needs and cost trends, providing data support for long-term cloud cost planning.
Finally, the Cloud Billing Intelligent Monitoring System offers you the ability to track service consumption in real time and automatically detect abnormal costs, issuing timely warnings and effectively avoiding unnecessary expenses. Through the effective interaction of these features, Guance's cloud billing function forms a powerful cost and consumption analysis system, helping businesses achieve fine-grained management of cloud resources and cost optimization.
