What’s New
Jumpstart your analysis with 12 new reports pre-built by FinOps experts. These templates are designed to help you quickly identify the most common drivers of spend and most valuable opportunities to optimize.
Reports are fully customizable, making it easy to create and share tailored reports and cost insights with your team.
Pinpoint cost insights & opportunities to save
Often, teams are focused on building and innovating rather than the ins and outs of cost analysis.
nOps Reports were built by our team of experts to provide some of the most useful views and jumpstart your AWS reporting and analysis. The reports make it easy to find significant cost drivers like data transfer charges, or hidden fees like unintended extended support costs.

Data Transfer Operation | View costs for data transfer operations to narrow the focus to which operations are driving costs up. Would leveraging something like CloudFront help? | Last 30 days | Daily |
