Viewing Total Potential Savings
Note:This enhancement is available with Cloud Cost Optimization.
Cloud Cost Optimization provides a new view of your organization's Total Potential Savings from recommendations, and now includes the ability to drill into the recommendations and share them with your stakeholders.

| • | The Cloud Overview page (Cloud > Cost Optimization > Cloud Overview) includes the Total Spend and Total Potential Savings from discovered recommendations. |
| • | Ability to drill into and filter the recommendations by billing center, recommendation name, savings, cloud, service, and other attributes. |
| • | Recommendations leverage our powerful Automation capability and Policy Templates and Policy Templates allowing Flexera One to quickly add and customize recommendations. |
| • | Coverage for AWS and Azure clouds. Google Compute to follow shortly after. Ability to add more clouds in future updates. |
| • | Future versions to allow customers to create their own recommendations to contribute to the Total Potential Savings. |
| • | The Billing Center Recommendations tab is removed. |
The enhancement includes two categories of recommendations:
| • | Rate Reduction—Recommendations to reduce the cloud rate. That is, Reserved Instances, Committed Used Discounts, and Savings Plans. |
| • | Usage Reduction—Recommendations to reduce cloud usage. That is, Unused Volumes, Instances and databases, IP Addresses, and Old Snapshots. |
