Profiles

A consolidated view of all the profiles and policies that have been set up for your CloudSpend account can be viewed here.

Tag Profile

Tags are a powerful feature used to organize your cloud costs. Create customized tags using logical operations based on the usage type of an account. Tag Profile provide customized labels that group user-defined parameters such as resourceLocation, service, resource, resourceGroup, meter category, and meter subcategory

For example, consider a project that contains all of the services applicable for an application. One set of tags could represent the components of that application (i.e. front end and back end) and another set of tags could represent common costs across applications (i.e. development, security, and testing).

Budget Policy

The budget policy section lets you view or add budgets for your CloudSpend accounts at an account level or a business-unit level. An advantage of adding a budget policy is that you get to reuse the same budget across multiple teams. By setting up targets for your linked accounts or business units, you can continuously track your cloud expenditure, and choose to receive an email notification when a team overshoots a budget.
