  • Unassigned resources policies help you to identify the resources that aren’t associated with a change group and to assign them appropriately. When a resource is assigned to the correct group, the resource can be appropriately governed even as it goes through stages such as patching, upgrading, and reconfiguring.

    The Cloud Cost Management application can generate compute and database recommendations for AWS, Azure, and GCP. The latest data is fetched every day at midnight.
