StableLogic empowers customers with the ability to establish cost governance and visibility at every organisational level, including:

• AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) Integration:
  We assist in setting up and maintaining CUR pipelines, delivered to S3 and queried via Amazon Athena or visualized in Amazon QuickSight, CUDOS Dashboards, or third-party FinOps platforms.
• Multi-Account Billing Visibility:
  Whether the customer is operating in a single AWS account or under a consolidated AWS Organisations billing model, we ensure cost reporting is structured around linked accounts, organizational units, and relevant cost centres.
• Cloud Spend Accountability:
  We help define KPIs for cloud spend accountability by team, service, or business unit. This includes tagging enforcement strategies and cost centre alignment. Our custom dashboards and scheduled reports make it easy to track spend vs. budget, highlighting areas needing optimisation or policy intervention.
• Variance Monitoring:
  We build in alerting and anomaly detection using AWS Budgets, Cost Anomaly Detection, and Lambda-based automation, notifying stakeholders when cost thresholds are breached.

StableLogic has deep experience implementing cost allocation models that align cloud costs with business context and usage:

• Alignment with AWS Account Structure:
  We help define the optimal organisational and account hierarchy to support cost segmentation by product, environment (dev/test/prod), and business function.
• Business-Relevant Tagging Schema:
  We develop and implement tagging strategies using a base schema (e.g., CostCenter, Application, Environment, Owner, Project, etc.), adapted through stakeholder workshops to reflect business-specific requirements.
• Showback & Chargeback Enablement:
  Using AWS Cost Categories, tagging, and consolidated billing, we provide reporting structures that support showback (cost visibility by BU or project) and can be extended to chargeback where needed.
• Tag Governance and Automation:
  StableLogic enforces tagging purity and compliance by:
  • Using AWS Config rules, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and tagging policies via AWS Organizations.
  • Implementing automation with Lambda functions to detect/tag untagged resources.
  • Integrating CI/CD guardrails to enforce tagging at the provisioning stage via CloudFormation or Terraform.

Our reporting approach blends AWS native tools with customer-specific enhancements:

• Native AWS Tooling:
  • Cost Explorer for on-demand filtering and trend analysis.
  • AWS Budgets for cost threshold alerts and monthly budget tracking.
  • CUDOS (Cost and Usage Dashboard Operations Solution) for deep dives across usage types, services, and accounts.
• Custom Dashboards:
  • We deploy Amazon QuickSight dashboards integrated with CUR+Athena for interactive, role-based cost views.
  • For customers using external BI platforms (e.g., Power BI, Tableau), we support CUR ingestion pipelines and visualization templates.
• Third-Party Platforms (as needed):
  • Integration with CloudHealth, Apptio Cloudability, or Harness for customers seeking enterprise-grade FinOps platforms.
