Enhancing AWS Cost Management: Micronity's srest

Micronity, a Tokyo-based software company, has recently announced an exciting update to its AWS cost management tool, srest. This new feature addresses the diverse separation methods used in government cloud shared utilizations, allowing government entities to manage their cloud costs more effectively. The update introduces a detailed permissions management function that enables accurate tracking of costs across multiple organizations sharing the same AWS account.

The Background Behind the New Feature

As the utilization of government clouds continues to rise, many local governments are adopting shared usage strategies for their AWS environments. These strategies often involve different separation measures, such as account separation, network separation, or application separation, to enhance security and management. Previously, srest primarily focused on cost visualization at the AWS account level. However, shared AWS accounts across multiple municipalities posed challenges, especially for network and application separation methods. In these cases, AWS cost data was aggregated, making it difficult for operators to determine which entity incurred specific costs while ensuring that sensitive information remained protected.

Realizing the need to meet these challenges, Micronity developed the new permissions management feature for srest, allowing operators to present their organization’s costs securely without exposing other municipalities' information.

Overview of the Permissions Management Feature

The permissions management function augments the existing allocation capabilities by incorporating a permissions concept, allowing costs within an AWS account to be segmented by organization. After segmenting the cost data, access restrictions can be applied, enabling each entity to view only its allocated costs. This enhancement ensures compliance with both network and application separation requirements, providing secure visibility for each municipality involved.

Looking Ahead

Micronity is committed to continual enhancement of srest to align with the evolving needs of government cloud usage. Looking forward, updates are planned for the reporting function, including AI-driven cost trend analysis, aimed at providing advanced cost optimization assistance for users.

What is srest?

srest offers an integrated approach to managing AWS costs across multiple accounts, emphasizing FinOps principles for ongoing cost optimization. It features an intuitive dashboard for in-depth cost analysis at departmental or system levels, enhancing visibility and decision-making for organizations' overall cloud expenditures. Recognized as AWS-certified software through the AWS Foundational Technical Review, srest is positioned as a leading solution for cloud cost management.
