Hello,

Has anyone had experience with normalizing cloud storage detail? We are using the out of the box reports and use AWS connectors. While reviewing the Application List > Opex Spend > Storage reports, it caught our eye that the Cloud storage was much, much, more expensive per GB of storage than our traditional storage numbers. We did some digging and looked at the AWS bill and reports that we are ingesting, only to realize that unit of measure for AWS storage is not consistent. We see several different units of measure for storage (GB, GB-Hours, GB-Month, etc). Since the report is adding up all the storage quantities regardless of the unit of measure, the cost per GB is not accurate. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Do you have any tips or tricks to manage it?

I have done something similar for GCP, by standardizing the units and converting them. I believe it should work also for other cloud providers. The conversion algorithm will depend on the definition of the units, of course.
Merry Christmas 🥂🥂🥂
