December 2022 Summaries

Vantage has introduced a new feature called Cost Report folders, allowing users to organize their cost reports into logical groupings for easier navigation and management. This feature is available to all Vantage users at no additional cost and offers enhanced organization through the ability to create, name, and nest folders, as well as star important reports for quick access. Folders are optional, providing flexibility for users who need more advanced organization beyond the top-level default. The feature also includes a global search function to quickly locate reports or folders, and while currently, all folders within a workspace share the same infrastructure integrations, more complex access controls are planned for the future.

Vantage has announced the integration of Databricks cost support within its console, allowing users to view and manage Databricks expenses alongside costs from major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. This feature enables Vantage customers to see detailed breakdowns of Databricks costs by service, account, and tag, providing a comprehensive view of their expenditures. By granting Vantage read-only access to Databricks billable usage logs, users can automatically ingest and visualize these costs, which are updated daily. The integration supports multiple Databricks accounts and allows users to filter cost reports by various dimensions, such as service and cluster, helping organizations manage infrastructure and consumption-based costs more effectively. This addition is available to all Vantage users, including those on the free tier, and aims to simplify the complex process of tracking Databricks expenses across different cloud environments.
