Cloud Cost Management

Own and optimize your cloud costs within your unified observability platform

Feature Overview

Datadog Cloud Cost Management seamlessly unifies cost and observability data from across your cloud infrastructure—easily scoped to teams and services—enabling engineers and FinOps practitioners to understand their total cost of ownership, proactively optimize their resources through automated recommendations, and identify and understand cost changes.


Understand your total cost of service ownership in a single platform

  • Instantly understand the total cost of services running on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, as well as SaaS providers like Snowflake, Databricks, MongoDB, and more
  • Upload any cost data source in FinOps FOCUS format to Datadog so all costs are accounted for
  • Attribute costs to specific products, services, and teams to identify the biggest cost changes, drill down to resource-level spend, and make decisions with high confidence
  • Use Tag Pipelines for seamless cost allocation across cloud resources to ensure all costs are properly accounted for

Unlock container and Kubernetes cost allocation

Available with: Container Monitoring in AWS, GCP, and Azure

  • Eliminate container cost uncertainty by seamlessly breaking out costs by cluster, namespace, or pod and across workload usage, workload idle, and cluster idle
  • Understand the true, total cost of applications and services running in shared infrastructure
  • Use automated recommendations to identify clusters and workloads with idle spend and reduce waste

Empower engineers to own costs and optimize spend

  • Enable teams to take ownership of the costs of their services and applications by surfacing costs in dashboards, Powerpacks, notebooks, and the Software Catalog
  • Cut through the noise with customizable cost, performance, and unit economic monitors to rapidly respond to unexpected cost changes
  • Eliminate silos between FinOps and engineering teams by reviewing recommendations and collaborating on cost initiatives with shared dashboards and notebooks
  • Combine cost data with performance metrics to build service-specific unit economics and easily reduce unnecessary compute, storage, or data-transfer costs
