Harness Cloud Cost Management empowers engineering teams with self-service tools to manage and optimize cloud expenditures effectively, leading to significant cost reductions, such as the 40% decrease in annual cloud costs achieved by Harness itself. This approach shifts the responsibility of cloud cost management from dedicated finance or operations teams to the engineers who consume cloud resources, thus eliminating inefficiencies and waste. The platform provides detailed visibility into cloud costs by offering features like root cost analysis for Kubernetes and AWS ECS clusters, hourly time granularity for cost tracking, and integration with continuous delivery systems. By correlating cloud events with cost spikes and providing insights into resource utilization, engineers can proactively adjust their resource allocations and reduce unnecessary expenditures. Additionally, Harness Cloud Cost Management supports multi-cloud environments and offers standard features such as executive dashboards, budget alerts, and historical reporting, making it a comprehensive tool for cloud financial optimization.
