#38xxx

This tab is the landing page for your cloud environments. The charts on this tab allow you to quickly understand the optimization potential in your public cloud environments. Your environment's efficiency and wasted spend are shown in the status bar at the top.

Figure: Locating the Summary Tab

The charts provide a concise summary of the environment and a breakdown of how optimization recommendations can provide immediate savings. You can clearly see the impact of taking the recommendations to reduce risk in your environment. You can also see the wasted resources that can be safely removed after you have eliminated risks.

The content on this tab is based on your selection in the tree viewer.

When a single instance is selected in the tree viewer, you will see the Overview and the Catalog Map tabs.

Overall Monthly Spend

This first chart summarizes your current spend and compares this to what you should be spending, based on utilization.

Figure: Current Monthly Spend and Monthly Waste

These cards provide:

  • A link to the AI Analysis Details page, filtered to the selected scope of systems.
  • A link to open a modal view showing a breakdown of spending on each service type and possible savings.
  • The overall efficiency rating.

Efficiency Rating

The Efficiency Rating provides an indication of the health of your aggregated environment.

  • A value of 1 indicates that, at an aggregate level, the environment is efficient according to the defined policy settings.
  • A value less than 1 indicates potential savings opportunities due to over-allocated resources.
  • A value greater than 1 indicates potential risks due to under-allocated resources. The value is indicated in red, when it is greater than 1.

Wasted/Shortfall Spend Estimates

The current and recommended estimated instance costs are used to calculate potential savings or additional spend.

Calculated as: (current estimated cost - recommended estimated cost).

  • The total estimated Monthly Waste is the sum of the selected instances with positive savings values.
  • The shortfall cost (also in the summary bar) is the sum of all selected instances with negative savings values.

Modal Views

The modal views show an inventory of the selected items, broken down by instance type, for the selected provider.

Links at each level take you to the AI Analysis Details page, filtered to the specific scope of systems.

Optimization Breakdown - Details

These cards list the aggregated recommendations for the selected scope of systems, broken down by the same optimization opportunities listed above. These cards provide the details of the recommendations that comprise the total in the corresponding bar chart.

The values are colour-coded to easily identify wasted resources and systems at risk.

Links to the AI Analysis Details page, with the appropriate view applied, are provided so you can investigate the recommendation.
