INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD COST MANAGEMENT
In today's world, it's pertinent to understand and manage costs associated with
your cloud resources. Optimum utilization of cloud resources saves costs. As the
complexity increases, it becomes challenging to keep track of cloud expenses.
The cloud cost management tools available today provide insights only into costs
at the project, service, instance type, or tag. This limited insight is
insufficient for development and DevOps teams looking to view and forecast the
costs of their deployments and active clusters' resources (namespaces, nodes,
pods, and so on).
Furthermore, typical cost management tools are designed to provide monthly
billing for CFO/CIO/CTO audiences. But for the engineers and DevOps teams
consuming resources, there's no access or ability to analyze their costs
quickly.
Harness Cloud Cost Management (formerly Continuous Efficiency) is a solution
that provides engineers and DevOps granular detail of their resource consumption
hourly. Harness Cloud Cost Management (CCM) is designed to bring cloud cost
analysis and management into the hands of the engineers consuming cloud
resources.
VISUAL SUMMARY
WHAT IS CLOUD COST MANAGEMENT?
CCM provides insight and visibility into your cloud infrastructure costs. CCM
provides the following benefits:
* Cost Visibility: Insights into the costs of your Harness Applications and
clusters. Provides granular cost details of your cluster namespaces,
workloads, nodes, pods, and labels. Details of total cost versus utilized,
idle, and unallocated cost. Forecasts future spend based on historical data.
* Cost Optimization: Optimize and minimize the costs associated with utilizing
cloud resources. The AutoStoppiing rules, Recommendations, and the Asset
Governance features help you identify cloud resources and services that are
idle or underutilized and take required action to ensure optimum utilization.
* Cost Governance: Enables you to set a budget and configure notifications
based on thresholds.
WHY HARNESS' CLOUD COST MANAGEMENT?
The following illustration explains the different challenges that an engineering
organization faces with cloud cost management and how Harness CCM can help you
resolve them.
Some of the unique challenges that CCM addresses are:
* Lack of visibility into the cost of their Application or clusters
* Unable to detect and resolve cost spikes
* Percentage of cloud spend wasted
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Teams lack visibility into the cost drivers. CCM can help you gain visibility
into your costs. The following table lists the needs and pain points of
different teams, and how CCM resolves these issues and provides opportunities
for improvement:

CCM COVERAGE
The following section lists where you can use CCM:
* Cloud Platforms
* AWS
* GCP
* Azure
* Container Orchestration
* Kubernetes: EKS (AWS), GKE (GCP), AKS (Azure)
* ECS Clusters
* Harness SaaS
SUPPORTED KUBERNETES MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

*Cost data is supported for On-Prem OpenShift 4.3. This uses a custom rate.
**Cost data is supported for K8s workloads on AWS managed by Rancher, but the
cost falls back to the custom rate.

HARNESS CCM FAQS
Here is the list of frequently asked questions for Harness CCM.
Cost is my CFO’s problem.
If your CFO is managing your cost, you’re being reactive to cloud changes. Your
team can be proactive and mitigate any cost spikes.
My cloud platform already gives me visibility into the cost.
Cloud platforms don’t let you see the cost at a granular level, for example,
application, clusters, nodes, workloads, namespaces.
I have already tagged everything, why would I need Cloud Cost Management?
You will have to re-tag everything if you:
* Create a new application
* Deploy a new microservice
* Or your company, team, or project is re-organized
After I reduce my costs, I won’t need Cloud Cost Management.
Reducing cost isn’t a one-time event. Engineering and finance need constant
feedback to innovate and change. Hence Cloud Cost Management.
After we’ve identified our costs, will Continuous Efficiency help us reduce
them?
Budgeting and alert thresholds are built into CE, with more features on the way.
Can your tool create custom reports and alerts?
Yes. CE provides alerts, reports, and forecasts you can fine-tune.
I know my cloud platform is accurate, how do I know your tool is accurate?
CE uses the same cost and usage report as your cloud platform.
