COST03-02 Visualizing Cost Allocation Results

Medium

It is essential to allocate costs to responsible teams to ensure that each team can clearly understand their service costs in a timely and accurate manner, enhance cost awareness, and balance performance, reliability, and costs when building solutions.

Huawei Cloud allows you to allocate costs based on your organizational plan. Once cloud services incur costs within your organizational plan, you can use Bill Management, Cost Analysis, and other tools to gain visibility into your costs.

You can also use cost categories to define rules with multiple conditions (service type, bill type, linked account, enterprise project, and cost tag) and allocate costs to meaningful categories based on your business needs. You can view the cost allocation results using Cost Analysis.

If you want to integrate detailed cost data with data from your own cloud management platform to generate tailored cost and usage analysis, you can subscribe to bill details, dump cost data to OBS, or call customer operations APIs. For example, you can combine the cost and usage details with the operations data of your enterprise to generate the KPIs for each business unit.
