Optimize your AWS costs with Cloud Cost Recommendations

What's this blog post about?

Datadog's Cloud Cost Management provides visibility into cloud spend, enabling users to explore costs and investigate trends that impact their cloud bill. The new feature, Cloud Cost Recommendations, automatically identifies optimizations available and makes it easy to execute changes that save costs and better manage cloud spend. It helps identify cost inefficiencies resulting from legacy services, unused resources, and over-provisioned workloads. By tracking resource utilization, Datadog can detect inefficiencies like EBS volumes with unused IOPS and throughput, providing quick visibility into the volume's details and potential savings. The feature is currently available in public beta and helps foster a culture of cost awareness that enables teams to drive continuous cost efficiency.
