Amandeep Pawar

Improved cloud cost governance has enabled precise budgeting, monitoring, and waste reduction

For North Cloud's improvement, I would suggest enhancing its AI capabilities, adding advanced AI/ML features, improving real-time cost tracking to reduce the delay between cloud usage and dashboard updates, enhancing custom reporting with a more flexible report builder, drag-and-drop functionality, SQL support, and the ability to create custom KPIs per unit, as well as deeper cloud integrations beyond Azure, AWS, and GCP to Kubernetes cost tracking, improving tagging governance, and providing automatic detection of missing and incorrect cloud tags, plus AI-based tagging recommendations and a better user experience with more modern and interactive dashboards for easier navigation for non-technical users. For needed improvements, I would add that there should be easier navigation for non-technical users for the financial team and a simplified onboarding for new users, along with advanced alerting systems, smart alert thresholds using historical trends, predictive alerts, and multi-channel notifications via Slack, Teams, email, and PagerDuty.

Centralized dashboards have optimized multi-cloud costs and improved financial governance

VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is a powerful cloud management platform, but there are areas for improvement. I would prefer to see more AI-driven insights that not only recommend optimization but also suggest automated remediation actions. Real-time cost synchronization could be faster, as billing data sometimes has delays. More customized dashboards and report templates would help teams tailor their needs better. Kubernetes cost visibility could be more granular for centralized workloads. Integration with ITSM and automation tools such as ServiceNow and Ansible could be enhanced. Simplifying initial onboarding and policy configuration would also improve the experience for new users. These enhancements would make the platform even more efficient for enterprise cloud operations. This tool is a mature and relevant cloud management platform with several areas that could be enhanced. I would prefer to see more advanced AI capabilities providing predictive insights and automated remediation for common optimization tasks. Better, faster synchronization of cloud billing and utilization data would enable near real-time cost monitoring. I want more customizable dashboards and executive reports tailored for different stakeholders such as FinOps, infrastructure, and management teams. Improving Kubernetes container cost visibility at the pod level is also necessary. I would prefer to see stronger AI-driven automation, faster real-time cost updates, more customizable dashboards, deeper Kubernetes cost visibility, enhanced DevOps integrations, and a simpler onboarding process as areas needing improvement. These enhancements would further increase operational efficiency and make the platform more valuable for enterprise cloud management.
