Inform

Subscriptions and Payments

Subscriptions lets you view your subscriptions to applications and services as well as related usage details such as billing schedules and rate card information. Invoices and Payment History allow you to view, pay, track, and monitor your invoices. With these tools, you can track the following:

  • Usage information
  • Billing schedule
  • Rate card
  • SaaS application usage

Cost Analysis and Reports

Cost Analysis can help you visualize and track your spending based on your preferred parameters. Cost reports give you a breakdown of your invoice line items at resource-level granularity. This allows you to make better-informed cloud spending decisions.

  • Cost reports are generated every six hours.
  • Daily usage reports are automatically generated.
  • Generate custom cost analysis reports and save them.
  • Estimate future usage based on past usage data.

Budgets and Forecasting

Budgets allow you to set thresholds for your spending on OCI. You'll get notifications if you approach a spending threshold.

  • Customize notifications and get alerts on your actual or forecasted spending.
  • Set your budgets using meaningful dimensions such as tags, compartments, and tenancies.

Cost Estimator

OCI Cost Estimator helps you estimate your monthly usage and costs for OCI services before you commit.

  • Easy-to-use evaluation
  • Bookmarking and sharing capabilities

Optimize and reduce costs

Cloud Advisor

Tenancy Management

Organization Management enables you to build, scale, and govern your multitenancy environment. The tenancy explorer and Domain Management help you govern your footprint on OCI.

  • Create new or link existing tenancies to the organization for centralized management.
  • Share subscriptions across tenancies.
  • Manage service restrictions, allowable regions, and tags across the organization.
  • Centrally manage cost and governance as the parent tenancy.

Manage Resource Metadata

Use tagging to add metadata to resources. Use tags to organize and list resources based on your business needs.

  • Create, manage, and attach tag namespaces, tag keys, and default tags.
  • Use tags to track costs and manage access.

Control User Access

Use Quotas in OCI to control and enforce a limit on resource consumption within your tenancy for a specific compartment. Create policies to enable access for cost management.

  • Stay in control of your budget by setting up service quotas.
  • Set a policy with simple declarative language that’s similar to the identity and access management policy language.
  • Allocate resources with a high level of flexibility to optimize your budget.

Launch of FinOps Hub: Simplified Cost Management Experience

James DeLoid, Principal Product Manager, OCI Layer Services

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has consolidated insights from the four cost management services—Subscriptions, Cost Analysis, Budgets, and Cloud Advisor—into one new overview page: FinOps Hub. Businesses can track cloud resource costs more closely than ever. FinOps Hub helps practitioners answer these questions: Are budgets on track? Do we have enough credits left so we don’t pay overages? What resource groups have the greatest impact on cost? Where can I optimize costs? How can I prevent unauthorized spending?
