Summary

Datadog Cloud Cost Management for Azure helps stakeholders track granular costs across multiple billing accounts and clouds, providing visibility into cost trends and drivers. It allows cloud cost owners to group Azure cost data by meaningful dimensions like product, team, and resource, making it easier to understand changes in costs over time. The platform also unifies cost data with observability data from Datadog APM, enabling teams to determine whether their Azure usage is cost-efficient or identify opportunities for optimization. By providing a broad view of an organization's Azure spend and automated cost reporting, Cloud Cost Management helps maintain accountability and prevent surprises, ensuring that stakeholders can make informed decisions about cloud costs and optimize the cost effectiveness of services in Azure.
