What is Apptio Cloudability?

Cloudability from Apptio, an IBM Company, is a cloud cost management and optimization tool that enables IT, finance, and business teams to optimize their costs and communicate the business value of the cloud. Cloudability is built to support the organizational adoption of cloud financial management - the process of bringing financial accountability to the scalable, variable, and distributed nature of the cloud.

Cloudability normalizes, and structures cloud billing and usage data from across public cloud ecosystems so that the user can actively manage spend and consumption to continuously improve the unit economics of cloud services, enabling teams to:
  • Fully allocate cloud spend, including containers and support charges, to ensure a full chargeback of cloud costs to the business.
  • Optimize cloud costs, leveraging rightsizing recommendations across major cloud service providers to reduce operating expenses and fund future innovation investments.
  • Make decisions with speed and confidence, enabling team ownership and accountability of cloud spend to better align cloud investments to business objectives.
  • Allocate shared costs, specialized technology and labor along with vendors to extend FinOps and accountability to the total cost of running cloud.

Apptio Cloudability Features

  • Supported: Visibility: Translates billing and usage data into a unified view to contextualize costs and govern cloud consumption.
  • Supported: Cost Optimization: Matches spend to needs, displays reservations and commitment based discounts, and identifies candidates for purchase and modification.
  • Supported: Efficiency: Continuously improves the unit economics of cloud with a shared understanding of costs and business value.

I help customers use Apptio Cloudability, I do not personally use it to solve issues that I personally have. The things we do are help customers with organizing their cloud costs so that they can do a showback or chargeback model. Other use cases are to clean up errors in the Cloud billing too, and find opportunities to save money using the cloud through optimization.

We use it to manage all of our savings plans and RIs. We also use it for right-sizing opportunities and we use it to graph those optimization efforts to show the cost going down as optimization changes are happening.

Apptio Cloudability provides us insights into our cloud spend that we cannot get anywhere else. We don't get the granularity and assurance around our actual spend numbers from our cloud provider, unlike with Apptio Cloudability. After attending TBMC23, I'm extremely excited about new product offerings and the expansion of the platform. It's been very refreshing to know that we're taking the right steps in our TBM journey.

As a centralized source of truth for spending, cost and usage to budget our cloud costs. The business problem is reducing cost and optimizing our current resources. The scope includes all departments and organization within AA that uses the cloud for their applications regardless of cloud provider.
