How it works
- Connect a cloud account — add an AWS, GCP, or Azure connection with read access.
- Set the billing source — AWS uses the connected account. GCP uses one Cloud Billing Standard export, and Azure uses one readable subscription or billing scope.
- Run the first scan — CostOps reads billing data, starts one full-connection cost scan, and keeps running in the background if you leave the page.
- Review spend and findings — compare current spend, forecast, top services, and potential monthly savings for the selected connection.
- Keep it current — daily refresh pulls new billing data and runs cost keepers. Turning it off is immediate; turning it on asks you to confirm, because it resumes agent spend.
What you can do
Provider behavior
If GCP or Azure has a readable billing source but no published rows, CostOps waits for the provider to publish data. The connection remains healthy.
