Monthly report is essential because it provides regular, structured insights that help businesses track and analyze key metrics over time.

In cloud cost management, it enables teams to identify trends, view costs at a glance, and detect any unusual increases. This level of visibility supports proactive expense management, helps prevent unexpected budget overruns, and enables informed decisions on where to optimize resources.

With this concept in mind, we’ve added a month selection feature to your Insight Report, allowing you to view costs for a specific month of your choice. This new selection in the Insight Report creation process works similarly to the previous quarterly and yearly options. Simply follow the same steps, with a new “Monthly Report” option now available in Step 2.

Creating a Monthly Insight Report is easy, just follow these simple steps:

And that’s it! You are ready to proceed to our next feature.

A new update is here to help you cut cloud costs and improve system performance! You can now set up API access for your GCP projects allowing you to receive your GCP optimization recommendations in Octo.

You can enable API access for your projects by following the steps below:

Then, you will be redirected to the following page:

Complete the necessary steps to start viewing your GCP optimization recommendations in Octo, helping you lower expenses, improve system performance, and better utilize your cloud resources.

After setting up GCP API access, you can view your usage and rate optimizations directly in the Recommendations tab or section.

We've updated the details section (on the left side of the screen) to include a GCP selection, now displayed alongside AWS for easy navigation.

Recommendations are now available in our database, so you can immediately access insights to optimize your cloud usage.

Details View for Recommendations: Click on the name of any recommendation to expand and view its details. Similar to AWS recommendations, a pop-up window will display the specifics of the selected recommendation, including the logic ID, name, service type, and more.

You'll notice we used the term ‘location’ instead of ‘region’ for GCP, as GCP organizes resources by ‘location,’ which often refers to a specific zone rather than a broader region.

We’ve also added more details to each recommendation, including estimated savings, the reason for the recommendation, suggested actions, and the resource identifier.

We have also made some minor bug fixes and improvements to other existing features.

We will continue to improve features based on user feedback.
