Support for rule-based dimensions in Cloud Cost Anomaly Alerts

Note:This enhancement is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.

The Cloud Cost Anomaly Alerts policy now accepts the use of rule-based dimensions, in addition to standard dimensions, to define specific spend groups for analysis. Additionally, the targeted spend groups can be refined further by providing specific dimension values—making it easier for you to focus on the areas of spending that matter most. In the policy, you specify the spend groups to group data for cloud cost anomaly analysis with the Cost Anomaly Dimensions parameter.

Along with the new support for the use of rule-based dimensions in the Cost Anomaly Dimensions parameter, the default for the Cost Metric parameter has been changed from Unamortized and Unblended to Amortized and Unblended.

For more information about these changes, see the details about the Cost Anomaly Dimensions and Cost Metric parameters in Cloud Cost Anomaly Alerts in the Flexera One Help.
