Enterprise Reporting: Track FinOps Governance Across Your Organization
Large enterprises struggle to scale FinOps governance. With tens of thousands of applications spread across business units, product families, and thousands of engineers, cost issues are scattered across code repos; making it nearly impossible to see the full picture.
Today we’re introducing Issue Explorer – enterprise reporting that gives FinOps and business leaders clear visibility into where issues sit in the organization, who owns them, and which initiatives are driving results. Fortune 100 enterprises are already using it to uncover the biggest opportunities and drive large-scale FinOps campaigns with AutoFix pull requests.
Why visibility and accountability matter
Cloud infrastructure is self-service, owned across many teams, and not controlled by any single group; so cost issues surface across countless code repositories. Strategic initiatives—like migrating to Graviton or storage lifecycle policies—only succeed if hundreds or thousands of engineers update their repositories.
The challenge for leadership is visibility. Issues can exist at any level of the enterprise hierarchy: from Business Units, through Product Families, and Products, all the way to Business Applications and Components. Without reporting that maps issues to your organization structure, it’s nearly impossible to see where progress is happening, where teams need more support, or how initiatives are impacting the business.
The result is that spend continues unchecked, initiatives lose momentum, and leadership lacks the evidence to show results or guide teams effectively.
Enable progress and measurable results
Issue Explorer gives FinOps teams and business leadership the visibility they need to guide distributed efforts, highlight where momentum is building, and support teams that need help. By surfacing progress clearly and tying it to organizational goals, leaders can create alignment and accelerate results across the enterprise.
With Issue Explorer, you can:
- Align cost control with org structure: Group and filter issues by any custom property such as business unit, product, product family or application.
- Track progress at scale: See which teams are acting, which campaigns are advancing, and where help is needed. For example, in the following screenshot it’s clear that the E-Commerce and Supply Chain business units are fixing significantly more issues, so you can learn from their process, and promote those best practices across the enterprise.
- Use any data source: application registries, ServiceNow CMDB, and cloud resource tags are all supported. Support for GitHub custom properties is coming soon.
By connecting cloud cost issues to your organizational hierarchy, Issue Explorer turns complexity into clarity, enabling leaders to run consistent, measurable FinOps campaigns and foster a culture of accountability. Every code repository now surfaces which business unit, product family, or application it belongs to, so FinOps teams and engineering leadership can see real progress using the same metadata your organization already trusts.
How it works
- Upload a CSV export from your application registry or ServiceNow CMDB. This can be tested directly in the Infracost Cloud UI quickly, and automated to happen daily via the Infracost API.
- Edit custom property names and choose which should appear as filters in Issue Explorer.
- Our Customer Success team will write a lightweight mapping script that maps your code repositories to your organizational hierarchy. Infracost supports repo names, files (e.g.
assets.yml), or any custom logic to map repos to your registry properties. - Infracost automatically updates Issue Explorer whenever your CSV data changes, or whenever a repository is added or changed.
Conclusion
Issue Explorer gives you the tools to turn complex, distributed cloud environments into actionable insights. By mapping cost issues to your organizational hierarchy, you can track initiative progress, and ensure every part of the enterprise contributes to cost optimization. This isn’t just visibility; it’s a way to drive measurable results, scale FinOps governance, and embed a culture of accountability across your organization.
