tl;dr: Cloud cost management is a core part of cloud governance and an engineering problem, not just a finance one. CloudQuery’s new AWS Cost Usage Reports integration connects cost data with infrastructure data, helping teams identify expensive resources, attribute costs, and understand the financial impact of security issues.
We’ve just released our AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) integration and dashboard for CloudQuery. This connects your AWS cost data with your infrastructure data, making cloud cost management an engineering problem again (as it should be).
What this gives you:
- SQL access to cost data: Query your AWS costs just like any other infrastructure data
- Resource-level cost visibility: Connect spending directly to actual resources
- Custom cost allocation: Build reports tailored to your org structure with simple SQL
- Cost anomaly detection: Identify sudden spending increases with straightforward queries
For the full announcement, implementation details, and SQL examples (including how to spot services with >50% cost increases month-over-month), check out the full blog post.
