Control Multi-cloud costs and prove ROI

Hi. In this video, we're going to review the FinOps and GreenOps modules in Cycloid. You have two aspects for FinOps and GreenOps in Cycloid. You have an estimation of the cost of the infrastructure before deployment, just to make sure before you deploy something, you are not going to get surprised with the price. And we have another module to do cost analysis VMWare we are going to import the data from the different cloud providers and generate some reports. So let's get started. The first thing I want to show you is the cost estimation. So let's take, for example, this deployment here. Here we have the configuration, which is the stack form that the user has deployed. And here you can see, for example, we have, RDS Postgres. We have some Elasticsearch that's, the end user configure. So if you want to change, for example, the instance class, you can do so by changing here. If I want to estimate the cost of these deployments before we actually change or deploy anything, then I can push this button and then it is actually analyzing the Terraform code that is behind. And here the whole platform is going to cost three thirty USD per month. And here, if I push this button, you can see all the details of everything that is going to be deployed. So you can see we have S3 bucket. We have some EC2 instance. We have some RDS here, some ALB and so on and so forth. The other aspect is the cost analysis. So if I move to FinOps and GreenOps, here you can see we have a dashboard with some reports. First of all, you need to connect an account from your different cloud providers. We support AWS, Azure, and GCP for that. So it's pretty simple. If I take, for example, GCP, you need a credential and then you need to access a project ID and then a billing dataset and then consequently a BigQuery, table that, will, hold the data, the billing data. It is exactly the same principle for, the other cloud providers. And then once you have done that and the import is complete, then you can go to dashboard. And here you can see actually the FinOps widget, which is multi cloud. So you can have the quota of consumption for the different cloud provider we have imported within, of course, this date range. And we have selected here a granularity of daily in that case. So this is the FinOps module. And then we have a global carbon footprint data module as well that is, showing you the global trend. And that shows not only the carbon footprint in pink but also the energy consumption. So you can see, how the shapes behave, regarding this carbon emission and energy consumption. Then you have a provider break breakdown. And here you have, we have three cloud providers, AWS, GCP, and Azure. And then we have a breakdown per project. And this is actually very interesting because it uses the tag on the cloud resources directly. So it is actually summing up including the carbon footprint, energy consumption, and the cost. It is, summing up all the resources having project equals Cycloid SaaS in this case here as a tag attached to the resources summed up in these numbers here. So if I click on this one, we have, here some, graph and we can actually group this data according to, for example, the category. Okay. And category can be networking, compute, database, security. And then I have an idea of, how the cost is spread among this category on a daily basis here. And, this is, filtered always for my cycloid SaaS deployment project. And I can subgroup as well, For example, per service, let's say. Okay. And then if I go down in this table here, here I can see that, I am in the finance aspect. I can change the currency eventually. Here the currency is euro. I can change to USD or different currencies. And then here I have the categories, but I remember I have also subgroup, per, per service. So for example, if I do security, I can see in security, I have the AWS WAF, and I have also the KMS. And this is the cost associated to this particular project in this date range and with a granularity of daily, and this is the number are in euro. Okay. So you can change, whatever you you want here. You can even filter addition additional dimensions. So for example here, it's only in this region. But if I have several regions, I could filter per region, or even with additional tags if I want to. And the very interesting thing in Cycloid is that this calculation is actually also made exactly in the same way to calculate the carbon emission. So it's one click away, actually. Exactly the same grouping, exactly the same filtering is applied. And here, I can see my c o two equivalent, my carbon emission for my project. And in exactly in the same way, I can see the energy consumption for my, different categories. So here is the FineOps and GreenOps modules that Cycloid can propose. I hope you like this video and I see you in the next one.
