Cloudability AWS Resource Inventory 

Thu July 06, 2023 02:30 AM

Today, 6th July 2023, we're excited to release the AWS Resource Inventory feature in Cloudability. This feature enables users to produce an authoritative list of cloud resources that existed and were billed during specific reporting periods. The user has the flexibility to build this list from resources spanning multiple accounts and can choose from different dimensions, metrics and tags to surface the details relevant to them. This information - available for each cloud resource - unifies billing, utilization, and descriptive meta data to give the user a comprehensive inventory view. This is the first time the utilization and descriptive meta data has been made available within Apptio Cloudability reporting for non-EC2 resources.

Enabling AWS Resource Inventory Feature 
 
This feature will have to be explicitly enabled for an org. Please reach out to your TAM or Cloudability Support to get this done.  Once enabled, it may take 2-3 business days for the data to start appearing in the inventory reports.
Instructions
Please note that the data shown in the screenshots below are dummy.
 
1. Login to Apptio Cloudability and go to Insights > Resource Inventory

2. Select the service from Services dropdown for which you want to view your resource inventory 

3.  Select the month for which you want to view resource inventory report. The feature provides a look back period of up to 2 months in the past.
Note: When Resource Inventory feature is enabled first time for an org, the inventory data will get backfilled to the beginning of the current month and the users will not have the option to look back for the previous month(s).
Inventory data would be sorted by Cost (Total) descending by default. 
4. Click on any of the KPIs (eg: Newly Launched Instances) to filter your reports based on that specific KPI. 
Note: Total Instances, Total Resources and Cost (Total) are not clickable in any of the services.
5. Click toggle button at the top right of report grid to configure Columns and Tags that you want to view in your report
6. Click Filters to apply any filters to your inventory report
7. Click Export button to export your complete inventory report
