Dashboard walkthrough

This dashboard provides an overview of costs across all your configured AWS accounts, allowing you to drill down into specific accounts using a variable selector. Selecting an account displays the current year's expenses broken down by service, offering quick insights into cost trends and highlighting which services are driving costs.

The top two tiles show the current month's costs compared to the previous month for each account, while the lower tile provides a monthly breakdown of costs by service.

With cost management being crucial organization-wide, this tool benefits both developers and management. Developers can enhance the efficiency of their designs using these insights, while management can monitor expenses securely without direct AWS access.

By making cost data accessible without exposing sensitive AWS information, the dashboard simplifies cost analysis and promotes transparency.

Dashboard owners can customize views for different groups, ensuring everyone can quickly access the information they need.
