Introduction to OneLens

Welcome to the documentation for OneLens, a unified cloud cost platform built to help organizations observe spend, optimize usage, automate actions, and govern infrastructure through policies. OneLens simplifies identifying inefficiencies, prioritizing savings, and acting with confidence at scale.

Overview

OneLens ingests AWS selected resources, usage metrics and Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) daily and transforms raw billing data into actionable insights.

Core Capabilities

1. Observe

Gain visibility into your cloud cost and usage:

  • Cost Analyzer

    • Explore historical spending trends and breakdowns up to four custom group levels.

  • Cost Watcher

    • Monitor cost anomalies and receive insights with root cause analysis.

  • Data Transfer Cost

    • View and analyze inter-region and inter-AZ data transfer charges.

  • Custom Tabs

    • Create tailored dashboards for specialized reporting needs.

2. Optimize

Discover and prioritize cloud cost savings:

  • Savings Dashboard

    • View total potential savings, top opportunities by account, service, and region.

  • Policy Violations

    • Identify inefficiencies flagged by built-in policies.

  • S3 Optimization

    • Review storage costs per bucket and receive class transition recommendations.

  • Kubernetes Optimization

    • Detect unused workloads and right-size resources across Kubernetes clusters.

3. Automate

Accelerate action through automation:

  • Tickets

    • Track optimization recommendations and assign them for resolution.

  • Workflows

    • Automate alerts, reports, and ticketing through custom-built workflows (series, parallel, hybrid).

  • Runbooks

    • Link policy findings to prescriptive remediation steps for faster execution.

4. Govern

Maintain cloud efficiency using policies:

  • Policies

    • Run 90+ cost-focused policies daily to detect architectural inefficiencies. Track violations, view savings potential, and monitor recurring issues.

5. Setup

Configure and maintain the OneLens environment:

  • Integrations

    • Connect OneLens to external tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, ServiceNow and PagerDuty to enable real-time alerts, ticketing, and workflow automation.

  • Settings

    • Manage system-level configurations, users, preferences and SSO setup.
