Cost Overview

The Cost Overview shows how cloud spend evolved over time within the assessment scope.

It answers:

What is the financial footprint of the assessed environment?

Why it matters

Costs are important in cloud exit planning because they help you:

  • identify expensive dependencies that may become blockers
  • estimate the potential cost of parallel-run / migration phases
  • support prioritization and stakeholder conversations

If cost data is missing or incomplete, double-check:

  • billing permissions
  • account/subscription scope

What you will see

Depending on provider capabilities and permissions, cloudexit may show:

  • monthly cost trend over a fixed period (commonly last 6 months)
  • aggregated totals for the shown period
