Reporting is one of Maestro's key features, transforming a comprehensive suite of tools and capabilities into a seamless information delivery process.
Maestro’s financial and analytic reports are designed to cater to users with diverse tasks and responsibilities.
Today, we are excited to unveil new features that significantly enhance the enterprise-level scope of Maestro reporting: a suite of C-Level infrastructure and cost reports, and the innovative "Linked Accounts" concept, which enables a more effective organizational infrastructure hierarchy.
Linked Accounts: Improved Accountability
Traditionally, one project would own one account in a public cloud. However, as enterprises and cloud usage have grown more complex, the need has emerged for a model where one project can have multiple accounts.
This approach enhances transparency and accountability, making large enterprises and complex teams operate in a more structured and effective manner.
Maestro addresses this by allowing you to view all accounts associated with a single project (also known as a business unit or tenant) in one place, and delve into the details of each specific account.
You can find linked account cost information on the Reporting tab, and retrieve detailed billing information for each linked account within regular reports.
C-Level Reports
To facilitate quick responses to issues, Maestro initially focused on reports for specific resource owners, team leads, and tenant managers. However, monitoring cloud trends at an enterprise level is crucial for overall infrastructure health and performance, as it enables strategic changes, long-term decision-making, and identification of key focus areas.
Recently, Maestro introduced three new types of enterprise-level reports and analytics to empower infrastructure expense and utilization reviews.
Cloud Radar on Dashboard
The Dashboard serves as the entry point to all information about your cloud infrastructures. The new Cloud Radar widget allows you to review summary cost trends across all accessible clouds in one place. The data includes monthly totals for the past year and expense predictions.
With this widget, you can track whether overall cloud expenses meet expectations and defined limits, and proactively react if trends exceed expectations or include unexpected peaks.
Annual Billing Report
The Annual Billing Report provides a summary of annual billing for all clouds. Similar to the Cloud Radar, it simplifies enterprise cost tracking and year-end billing procedures.
Weekly Instance Analytics Report
This report provides regular updates on virtual machine creation, termination, and lifecycles across all clouds in an enterprise.
This type of statistic helps identify whether the infrastructure lifecycle is proceeding as expected or if additional investigation is needed. For instance, it might be effective to terminate instances that have been stopped for over two weeks or transition their load from start/stop cycles to run/terminate cycles via auto-scaling.
The relationship between created and terminated resources can also help estimate infrastructure utilization growth and highlight potential areas for process or load review.
In summary
The new tools for enterprise-level cost accountability, transparency, and infrastructure lifecycle management represent a powerful enhancement to the existing features, providing greater visibility and control at a new level.
