Project Budgets

Overview

The Budgets page in Analytics Hub lets you track how your cloud spending compares to the limits you have set for a specific project. Use it to monitor all active, planned, and expired budgets scoped to this project at a glance.

To access the Budgets page, you need the Access FinOps management permission. The page shows only budgets scoped to this project that you have permission to read.

Content on this page

The page displays a table listing all budgets scoped to this project that you have access to, sorted alphabetically by name by default.

Each row in the table contains the following information:

• Name — The budget's name.
• Type — Either Expiring (a one-time budget with a fixed end date you set) or Recurrent (a budget that automatically resets on a regular schedule).
• Period — For recurrent budgets: Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly. For expiring budgets, this column shows —.
• Start date — The date the budget period begins.
• End date — The date the budget period ends. For recurrent budgets, this is automatically set to the last day of the current billing period and updates at the start of each new period.
• Status — One of three values:
  • Planned — The budget's start date is in the future.
  • Active — The budget is currently running.
  • Expired — The budget's end date has passed.
• Budget amount — The spending limit set for this budget.
• Actual cost — The total cloud costs recorded so far within this budget's scope and period.
• Spend — A color-coded progress bar showing how much of the budget has been used.
