FinOps

Deep Link Support in Executive Dashboard

Description: CoreStack now enables FinOps practitioners to generate shareable, stable URLs anchored to specific saved view configurations in the Executive Dashboard. Instead of manually recreating complex filter setups for every collaboration request, teams can copy a link in one click and share it instantly. Data renders according to each recipient’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) entitlements, keeping collaboration secure without additional administrative overhead.

Key Capabilities:

Generate shareable deep links across all FinOps+ modules with one consistent experience
Share in one step using three flexible actions: “Copy Deep Link,” “Save & Copy Link,” and “Update & Copy Link”
Share any previously saved view as a deep link — only explicitly created views can be shared
Track adoption and resolve issues proactively with built-in observability for every link access, RBAC restriction, and failure

Key Benefits:

Reduces manual walkthrough overhead from 15–30 minutes to under 60 seconds
Accelerates cost incident triage by enabling instant sharing of anomaly context with engineering and finance teams
Maintains security automatically — RBAC is enforced at render time, not generation time

Supported Providers: All supported cloud, Kubernetes and SaaS providers

Dimension Creation Wizard — Friendly UI (Phase 1)

Description: CoreStack introduces a guided, no-code wizard for building and managing cost allocation dimensions in FinOps+ — replacing the YAML-only configuration experience. The wizard walks users through six intuitive steps, from naming and scoping to rule configuration, live impact preview, and one-click deployment, with real-time validation catching errors before anything goes live. Users who prefer YAML can switch to a full YAML editor at any time without losing wizard-generated settings.

Key Capabilities:

Create dimensions visually through a guided six-step wizard — Basic Details, Data Source, Rule Configuration, Value Mapping, Preview, and Deploy — with YAML auto-generated in the background
Configure precise matching rules using Equals, Contains, Starts With, and Regex operators with AND/OR logical grouping and drag-to-reorder priority
Preview impact before going live by seeing which cloud resources will be matched using a sampled dataset of up to 5,000 resources
Edit existing dimensions safely — load any dimension (YAML-created or wizard-created) into the wizard for point-and-click editing
Toggle to YAML for advanced control with syntax highlighting and real-time validation.

Key Benefits:

Reduces configuration errors through inline real-time validation and a deploy gate that blocks incomplete or conflicting rules
Frees Cloud Ops Engineers from support overhead by enabling self-serve dimension creation, editing, and deployment
Accelerates FinOps+ adoption by making the Dimensions module accessible to non-technical team members

Supported Providers: AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Platform Filters, and SaaS

Unallocated Cost Allocation Control

Description: CoreStack now provides users the ability to enable or disable unallocated cost allocation within dimensions. Previously, the system always displayed unallocated costs regardless of grouping configuration. Users can now choose whether unallocated cost allocation is populated, giving them greater control over how ungrouped costs appear across dashboards and reports.

Key Capabilities:

Toggle unallocated cost allocation on or off for any dimension configuration
Control whether unallocated costs appear in cost breakdowns and reporting views

Key Benefits:

Gives FinOps teams precise control over cost allocation visibility
Reduces noise in cost reports by allowing teams to suppress unallocated costs when not relevant

Supported Providers: All supported cloud providers

Budget Forecast Widget Enhancement

Description: The Budget Forecast widget’s Accumulated Spend chart now adjusts its Y-axis granularity based on the user’s selected time range. Previously, the chart always displayed month-wise spend regardless of the selected granularity. Users now see spend data at the appropriate resolution for their analysis context.

Key Capabilities:

Display daily spend values on the Y-axis when Monthly granularity is selected
Display weekly spend values on the Y-axis when Quarterly granularity is selected
Display month-wise spend values on the Y-axis when Yearly granularity is selected, with budget reference maintained at the monthly budget level

Key Benefits:

Provides more granular spending visibility aligned with the selected analysis period
Enables more accurate budget-to-actual tracking at daily and weekly intervals

Supported Providers: All supported cloud providers

Graphion

Compliance My Standard Creation — Simplified Single-Step Workflow

Description: CoreStack simplifies the creation of custom compliance standards by consolidating what was previously a two-step process into a single guided workflow. Users can now provide all required inputs — including the standard name, logo, supported providers, and a Controls Definition file with policy mappings — in one step. Additionally, existing standards now support downloading their Controls Definition file, enabling users to use an existing standard as a baseline, modify it, and upload it directly when creating a new custom standard.

Key Capabilities:

Create a custom compliance standard in a single step by providing the standard name, logo, supported providers, and a Controls Definition file with policy mappings simultaneously
Download the Controls Definition file from any existing standard to use as a starting point for a new custom standard
Upload a modified Controls Definition file as part of the standard creation flow, with controls and policy mappings defined in a single upload

Key Benefits:

Reduces the time and effort required to create a custom compliance standard by eliminating the separate Controls upload step
Enables teams to adapt existing compliance standards without rebuilding from scratch, reducing configuration errors and saving time when standards share common control structures
Lowers the barrier to compliance customization by replacing a multi-step process with a single, consistent creation workflow

Supported Providers: All supported cloud providers

Application to Workload Mapping

Description: CoreStack Graphion now supports mapping Applications to the CoreStack Workloads that run them, closing a critical gap between SBOM analysis and cloud infrastructure context. Previously, Applications onboarded into Graphion had no structured link to the cloud resources powering them, leaving security teams to manually cross-reference SBOM findings with cloud inventory. This release introduces a workload-aware mapping experience across the Application create/edit form, the Application listing page, and the SBOM cloud resource mapping workflow — backed by Application-to-Workload edges in the Graph DB that enable downstream graph traversal from vulnerability findings through to cloud resources.

Key Capabilities:

Add a multi-select Workload field to the Application create and edit forms, enabling users to associate one or more CoreStack Workloads with each Application
Surface a Workload column on the Application listing page, with clickable links that navigate directly to the Workload View for quick infrastructure drill-down
Redesign the SBOM Map Cloud Resources popup as a full-page, filterable resource table with Workload as a first-class filter — automatically scoping cloud accounts and resources to the selected Workload
Persist Application-to-Workload relationships as edges in the Graph DB, enabling graph traversal queries that follow the path from a SBOM or vulnerability finding through to cloud infrastructure resources
Preserve all existing SBOM cloud resource mappings made via the cloud-account flow, ensuring full backward compatibility for brownfield tenants

Key Benefits:

Gives security teams immediate, automatic context for which cloud resources are in scope for any SBOM vulnerability — without manual cross-referencing
Reduces the effort of mapping SBOM findings to cloud infrastructure by enabling workload-scoped filtering in the resource mapping workflow, replacing free-form account browsing
Lays the Graph DB foundation for future vulnerability graph visualizations, enabling progressive build-out of application-to-infrastructure traceability in Graphion

Supported Providers: All supported cloud providers

AI Agents

AI Agent: FinOps MCP Server Enhancements

Description: CoreStack expands its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to expose FinOps capabilities as structured, AI-callable tools. The enhanced MCP server enables AI agents to perform cost analysis, billing data retrieval, and financial reporting through a standardized tool interface — organized across three architectural layers for flexibility and coverage.

Key Capabilities:

Intent-driven billing tools that answer common FinOps questions — top-N cost drivers, month-over-month trends, budget vs. actuals etc
Raw billing escape hatch for parameterized billing queries directly against the cost aggregation layer when intent tools do not cover the use case

Key Benefits:

Enables any MCP-compatible AI agent to access CoreStack FinOps data through a standardized interface

AI Agent: Rate Optimization Agent

Description: The Rate Optimization Agent is an AI-driven FinOps capability that enables teams to monitor and act on cloud commitment spend through natural-language queries. Rather than manually building reports, users can ask questions and receive immediate insights on portfolio health, commitment inventory, utilization trends, and waste analysis. The agent is most reliable for straightforward, single-metric queries within one capability area.

Key Capabilities:

Query portfolio and budget health — retrieve cost, spend, and budget status summaries on demand
Review commitment inventory — view active Reserved Instances and Savings Plans with expiry timelines
Access rate recommendations — get RI and Savings Plan purchase suggestions with estimated savings potential
Analyze utilization and anomalies — surface usage trends and cost anomaly detection across commitments
Investigate waste — identify root causes and quantify sunk versus recoverable waste per commitment, with a generated Waste Analysis Dashboard that breaks down hard waste, soft waste, below-breakeven commitments, and estimated recoverable spend across the portfolio
Assess overall portfolio health — generate a Portfolio Health Assessment Dashboard covering active commitments, utilization rate, monthly waste, net savings, uncaptured savings, expiry timelines, anomaly summaries, and budget health — with sensible defaults applied automatically (full organization scope, 180-day expiry window, 3-month trailing data)

Key Benefits:

Transforms rate optimization from a manual, spreadsheet-driven process into an AI-guided conversational workflow
Enables FinOps practitioners to assess commitment health and waste without building queries or configuring filters
Surfaces actionable optimization recommendations — including recovery plans for individual commitments — alongside AI-generated insights in a single screen

Supported Providers: AWS, Azure

Platform

Editing Tenant Names

Description: CoreStack now allows Account Admins and Tenant Admins to rename a tenant directly from the Tenant Management screen — without deleting, recreating, or re-onboarding cloud accounts. This eliminates a critical operational blocker for MSP/Partner organizations managing POC-to-production customer transitions and for enterprise customers whose departments have been reorganized. The rename propagates instantly across all dashboards, reports, and modules, with a full audit trail and admin notifications built in.

Key Capabilities:

Rename tenants in-place directly from the Tenant Info panel using an inline edit field — no support ticket, no recreation, no data loss
Confirm with guardrails through a mandatory confirmation dialog showing old and new name before applying
Propagate instantly system-wide across all dashboards, cost reports, compliance views, governance modules, and tenant selector dropdowns
Track every change in the Audit Log with a complete, tamper-evident record of all tenant name changes
Notify affected admins automatically whenever a tenant they manage is renamed

Key Benefits:

Eliminates 1–3 days of re-onboarding work per customer conversion by enabling MSP/Partner teams to rename tenants in under 60 seconds
Maintains full historical governance context — no data loss, no loss of historical cost and compliance records
Keeps governance reports accurate after organizational restructuring without engineering intervention
Meets compliance and auditability requirements by capturing every rename in a structured Audit Log
