Tutorial 4 - Creating Cost Allocation & Dimensions

CloudZero Dimensions are the solution for understanding all the costs of operating cloud software in all the ways that matter to the business. Dimensions allow you to use some characteristic of cloud infrastructure (usually accounts, services or tags) and categorize it. You can think of Dimensions as a meta-tagging layer that sits on top of all the various pieces of metadata we have about resources. Most organizations using CloudZero will have multiple Dimensions. The Dimensions you create can be used in many different ways throughout the product; to group and filter spend in the Explorer, to receive updates via Slack or email through Views, to understand cost per customer, and more.

Below are some product documentation resources that will offer further insights and how-to:

Step 1 - Create your first Dimensions to start adding/improving the business context associated with your cloud cost data

Step 2 - Create your first Views to start collecting infrastructure into meaningful collections (teams, environments, services, etc)
