🚀 Launch day! Very excited to share that you can now programmatically access resource-level cost data through the Vantage API! This API allows customers to access hundreds of supported resources (i.e. S3 Buckets, EBS Volumes, EC2 instances, etc.) across 8 different providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Some really interesting aspects about this API: - You can use Vantage Query Language (VQL) for ad-hoc filtering of resources. So if you wanted to enumerate over all resources that had a particular cost allocation tag, that's supported out of the box (including Virtual Tags). - This API also supports management of Resource Reports. So if you had a Resource Report for all unattached EBS volumes that are over a certain cost threshold you can hit that Resource Report endpoint to see all the latest resources that meet that criteria on an ongoing basis. - We've integrated with hundreds of List/Describe APIs across all the providers to not only provide cost information in the API but also metadata from the service APIs themselves. Using that same EBS example above, this allows for you to see other attributes like iops or volume size with the cost data in a singular API. Extensibility through the API has always been part of the core ethos of Vantage from the very beginning. Over the last four years we've invested in having near-full coverage of all features available via the API and Terraform. This new resource API opens up an entirely new set of use-cases and future integrations that are going to be very interesting so....stay tuned. #finops #boom https://lnkd.in/eaq8hd2Y
