Cloudability - Dashboards

What is a Dashboard?

A Cloudability dashboard is a collection of visual widgets (charts, tables, and metrics) that display cloud cost data in an easy-to-read format. Dashboards are interactive and update automatically as new cost data becomes available.

Dashboards can display information such as:
