See your costs for each AWS resource

In plain words

Vantage provides visibility into AWS spending by showing costs broken down by individual resource. It helps engineering teams and finance departments understand where their cloud infrastructure budget is going. The tool connects to AWS accounts to track and analyze expenses across different services and resources, making it easier to identify spending patterns and optimize cloud costs.

So we wanted to find a way to let our customers experiment with how they can use AI to make their cloud cost management work more productive. The MCP Server acts as a connector between LLMs (right now only Claude, Cursor support it but ChatGPT and Google Gemini coming soon) and your cost and usage data on Vantage which supports 20+ cloud infra providers including AWS, Datadog, Mongo, etc. (You have to have a Vantage account to use it since it's…

You can drill down into each resource to see subcategory costs so imagine seeing specific egress costs being tied to a specific Cloudfront distribution or EC2 instance. This works by Vantage ingesting and processing Cost and Usage Reports from…

  OpenAI Cost Monitoring2023 · ▲13

  Hi HN, My name is Ben Schaechter and I’m Co-Founder and CEO of https://vantage.sh - a cloud cost visibility and optimization platform. We just added support for monitoring OpenAI costs and usage to Vantage and I wanted to share a demo we put together with HN as I thought people might find it interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzAOU1-uMrM In early April we started getting requests from customers to add OpenAI cost support specifically as it was a bit opaque as to what exactly was driving costs. The way this works is that it uses an undocumented API available…
