Pools: The New Standard for Cloud Cost Allocation

Automatically distribute expenses across teams and projects with custom allocation rules.

OUR PROCESS

Experience the streamlined efficiency of Costimizer

Centralized Cloud Spend Dashboard

You don't need to rely on multiple dashboards across different cloud providers anymore.. The Pools page serves as your control center and acts as a powerful cloud cost optimization tool, allowing you to view all pools, their owners, current expenditures, and plans in a single, clean, hierarchical view.

Any unassigned resources that fall into a default pool will be identified as shadow IT, ensuring that all resources are accounted for.

Know whom to negotiate with on the issue of increasing costs with a specific owner per pool.

Know the estimated cost of every team and project and finally gain clarity over your Cloud Bills.

Automated Cloud Resource Organization

Stop spending engineering hours on manual tagging. Our AI agent automatically categorizes each new resource in the right pool as soon as it is found.

Set your policies once and see your cloud environment self-organize in real-time.

Ensure that governance is automated as your team expands, forming the foundation of effective cloud cost optimization.

One click will reapply your entire ruleset and realign resources to new priorities.

Enforceable Cloud Budgets with Auto-Termination

A budget that is not enforceable is nothing more than a figure. With Costimizer, you can set hard budget limits or auto-delete policies (TTL) on any pool or sub-pool to guarantee you never overspend.

Set budget limits on any pool, usage beyond the limit is blocked or throttled. Define expiry for non-critical resources, so unused cloud resources shut down automatically via (TTL) when time is up. Empowering the team will result in them being in charge of their own pool budget, which will create cost accountability.

Hierarchical Structure

Simple tags are passive labels. Real governance is an active, hierarchical structure offered by pools. Use it form departments and sub-pools of projects or teams to have some amount of granular control that cannot be provided by Virtual tags alone.

Arrange cloud resources to reflect your company's hierarchy for easy chargeback.

Begin with the total expenditure of a department and immediately break it down into the projects that are causing the spending- one of the most effective ways to understand how to reduce AWS cost.

Improve expense and forecast data using a structural approach, rather than relying on filters.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How granular can the pools be?

As granular as you need. Create a primary production pool, followed by sub-pools organized by microservice, team, or stage of development. The framework is dynamic enough to reflect your precise business requirements.

Will this be a lot of work for my engineers?

The opposite. The time required to establish assignment rules is a few minutes, which will save engineering hours in the future by automating the organization and governance. It liberates your team from manual sorting and enables them to focus on building.

What will occur when a resource does not correspond to a rule?

It is deposited in a default, unassigned pool, and hence nothing is ever lost or unaccounted for. This provides 100% visibility, enabling you to create another rule for similar resources in the future easily.

Is this not similar to the cost allocation tags?

Tags are passive labels. Active governance is achieved through pools. Hierarchies, hard budget constraints, and full automation of an organization can be achieved with pools, which is far beyond a flat tagging system.
