Tailwarden

We're thrilled to announce major new features and enhancements designed to streamline your cloud cost and usage management:

This major update offers you a more granular view of your cloud costs across multiple platforms, empowering you to make informed decisions and optimize your cloud spending.

• Cost Evolution and Group by Usage: Now, you can track your total cost over time and gain deep insights with a breakdown by multiple dimensions such as services, teams, tags, and accounts. With the group by usage type, you can analyze easily your data transfer costs, including InterRegion, Internet, or Site-to-Site VPN expenses.
