# Introduction to OneLens Capabilities

OneLens is 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.

OneLens supports AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, with Kubernetes support for EKS and AKS.

## Core Capabilities

### [Observe](/observe-visibility-and-insights/cost-reporting.md)

Gain visibility into your cloud cost and usage:

* [**Cost Reporting**](/observe-visibility-and-insights/cost-reporting.md)\
  Analyze historical trends and cost breakdowns across multiple dimensions—including accounts, services, regions, usage types, cost centers, and custom groupings.
* [**Cost Watcher**](/observe-visibility-and-insights/cost-watcher.md)\
  Monitor anomalies, spikes, and new resources with root cause insights.
* **Cost Allocation**\
  Organize spend using up to four-level groupings with tags, accounts, and cost centers.
* [**Service Cost Monitoring**](/observe-visibility-and-insights/service-cost-monitoring.md)\
  Track service-level costs and detect usage patterns contributing to increased spend.

### [Optimize](/optimize-cost-savings-and-recommendations/saving-dashboard.md)

Discover and prioritize cloud cost savings:

* [**Savings Dashboard**](/optimize-cost-savings-and-recommendations/saving-dashboard.md)

  View total potential savings, top opportunities by account, service, and region.
* [**Policy Violations**](/optimize-cost-savings-and-recommendations/policy-violations.md)

  Identify inefficiencies flagged by built-in automated policies.
* [**S3 Optimization**](/optimize-cost-savings-and-recommendations/s3-optimization.md)

  Review storage costs per bucket and get insights to reduce storage cost.
* **Rate Optimization**\
  Identify cost-saving opportunities through better rate plans or commitments.

### [Automate](/automate/approvals.md)

Accelerate action through automation:

* [**Workflows**](/automate/workflows-and-automation.md)

  Automate alerts, reports, and ticketing through custom-built workflows (series, parallel, hybrid).
* #### [**Tickets**](/automate/ticketing-and-work-management.md)

  Track optimization recommendations and assign them for resolution.
* [**Remediations**](/automate/remediations.md)\
  Use prescriptive Runbooks to resolve issues quickly and consistently.
* **Approvals**

  Integrate with third-party tools like Jira or ServiceNow to manage approval steps before executing critical actions.
* **Schedulers**\
  Set up recurring reports and automated triggers for seamless operations.

### [Govern](/govern-control-and-governance/cost-optimization-policies.md)

Maintain cloud efficiency using policies:

* [**Policies**](/govern-control-and-governance/cost-optimization-policies.md)

  Run 90+ built-in policies daily to detect and track architectural inefficiencies.
* **Budgeting**\
  Set cost limits at account or cost center level to proactively manage spend.
