What Is CloudForecast?
CloudForecast is a cloud cost management platform built for engineering, DevOps, and finance teams who need clear visibility into their cloud spending without drowning in dashboards or raw billing data. We turn complex cost data into simple, actionable insights — delivered proactively so your team stays informed without having to go looking.

Section titled “Who It’s For”CloudForecast is designed for:
- Engineering and DevOps teams who own cloud infrastructure and want to stay on top of costs without becoming financial analysts.
- Finance and FinOps teams who need accurate, timely data to manage budgets and communicate spend across the organization.
- Engineering leaders who want cost visibility without manual reporting overhead.
Supported Cloud Providers
Section titled “Supported Cloud Providers”CloudForecast connects to:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Microsoft Azure (including Azure CSP)
- Databricks
Core Features
Section titled “Core Features”Cost Groups and Reports
Section titled “Cost Groups and Reports”Organize your cloud costs into groups that reflect how your business actually works — by team, product, environment, or any other dimension. Get daily and weekly reports that surface what matters: trends, anomalies, and cost breakdowns across services, regions, and accounts.
Dashboards
Section titled “Dashboards”Interactive dashboards give you a live view of spending across your cloud environment. Drill down by service, tag, account, or time period to quickly find where costs are growing.
Cost Detective
Section titled “Cost Detective”Cost Detective automatically identifies unexpected cost spikes and anomalies. Instead of manually reviewing billing line items, your team gets proactive alerts when something looks off — with enough context to investigate quickly.
ZeroWaste
Section titled “ZeroWaste”ZeroWaste is a continuous health check that scans your cloud environment for idle, unused, or oversized resources. It surfaces specific recommendations — like unattached volumes, underutilized instances, and unused load balancers — so your team can eliminate waste without guesswork.
Reserved Instance and Savings Plan Tracking
Section titled “Reserved Instance and Savings Plan Tracking”Track your RI and Savings Plan coverage, utilization, and upcoming expirations in one place. Get alerted before commitments expire and identify gaps in coverage so you can optimize your commitment-based discounts.
Tagging Center
Section titled “Tagging Center”The Tagging Center helps you maintain a clean, consistent tagging strategy across your cloud resources. It shows which resources are missing tags, where your tagging policy isn’t being followed, and gives you dashboards to slice costs by any tag key or value.
Container Costs (ECS and EKS)
Section titled “Container Costs (ECS and EKS)”Get cost visibility into your containerized workloads. CloudForecast breaks down spending at the cluster, service, and task level for both ECS and EKS — so you can understand what your containers actually cost.
MAP Tracker
Section titled “MAP Tracker”Track your progress against AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) credits. The MAP Tracker shows how credits are being consumed so you can plan accordingly and avoid surprises at the end of the program period.
