Yahoo Finance Datadog (DDOG) Brings New Features in Cloud Cost Management
Datadog DDOG recently announced new capabilities for its Cloud Cost Management product, including container cost allocation and cost monitors. It extends the collaboration with Microsoft MSFT by providing Cloud Cost Management support for Azure.
Cloud cost data is ideally dispersed and difficult to centralize and understand, putting organizations at risk of exceeding budget. As organizations increase their usage of containers and multiple clouds, the ability to centralize cost data and allocate spend across different dimensions becomes a top priority.
Datadog’s Cloud Cost Management addresses this issue by providing engineers visibility into spend and creating a cost-conscious culture to take action on cost insights. With granular alerting and visibility into containers and Azure environments, it empowers to reduce waste and avoid unexpected cost overages.
With support from Azure and Amazon’s AMZN AWS, organizations can now seamlessly understand the teams, services and environments responsible for their highest cloud costs. Teams using Microsoft Azure can optimize performance and cost, with full visibility into infrastructure and application telemetry.
