VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth (formerly CloudHealth), has released the general availability for support of Alibaba Cloud!
With this release, customers and partners will gain visibility into Alibaba Cloud costs and usage so enterprises can view all cloud costs in a single platform and streamline decision-making. This is in addition to existing support for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, VMware Cloud on AWS (beta), and data center cost management.
Our mission is to complete the total cost of ownership story. In accomplishing this, we’ll produce raw, enriched, and custom datasets that will connect with customer-provided data to drive existing and new use cases around optimization, governance, and unit economics for business KPIs.
