What it does

Key features

  • Multi-cloud consolidation — unified cost reporting across AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts and subscriptions
  • Rightsizing — utilisation-based compute instance type and size recommendations with estimated savings
  • Reservation management — RI and Savings Plan utilisation tracking and purchase recommendations
  • Governance policies — automated tagging enforcement, resource expiry, and cost anomaly alerting
  • Cost allocation — business unit, team, and project cost allocation through tag-based reporting
  • Showback and chargeback — internal cost reporting for APAC business unit cloud spend accountability
  • Budget tracking — cloud spend budget monitoring with configurable alert thresholds
When to reach for it

Best for

  • APAC enterprises with multi-account AWS and multi-cloud environments needing consolidated cost visibility
  • Cloud governance teams wanting automated tagging enforcement and resource lifecycle management
  • APAC CIOs and CFOs wanting business unit cloud cost accountability through showback and chargeback reporting
  • FinOps practitioners optimising AWS Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage for APAC workloads
Don't get burned

Limitations to know

  • ! CloudHealth pricing is significant — APAC SMBs and startups should evaluate lighter tools like Vantage or AWS Cost Explorer
  • ! The Broadcom acquisition of VMware creates roadmap uncertainty — APAC enterprises should assess strategic direction before long-term commitment
  • ! Setup and configuration complexity is substantial for APAC enterprises with complex multi-account structures
  • ! APAC-specific cloud providers (Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud) are not supported — China-market cloud management requires separate tooling
Context

About CloudHealth

CloudHealth by VMware is the enterprise cloud financial management platform — with 17,000+ customers globally — that provides APAC enterprises with consolidated cost visibility, rightsizing recommendations, and governance policy enforcement across AWS, Azure, and GCP APAC cloud accounts from a single management interface.

CloudHealth's multi-cloud consolidation capability — which aggregates cost and usage data from multiple AWS accounts, Azure subscriptions, and GCP projects into a unified cost reporting interface — addresses the APAC enterprise challenge of managing cloud spend that is distributed across dozens of business units, development environments, and APAC regional deployments. For APAC enterprises where cloud spend is managed by multiple engineering teams without centralised visibility, CloudHealth's consolidated view enables the cloud financial governance that reduces wasted spend from orphaned resources, over-provisioned instances, and unused reservations.

CloudHealth's rightsizing engine — which analyses historical resource utilisation patterns and recommends compute instance type and size adjustments that maintain performance while reducing cost — identifies the APAC cloud spend that represents the highest immediate cost reduction opportunity. APAC enterprises that provisioned AWS EC2 instances for peak capacity and run them at 20% average utilisation are paying for capacity that rightsizing would eliminate — CloudHealth's utilisation analysis identifies these over-provisioned resources and generates specific rightsizing recommendations with estimated savings.

CloudHealth's reservation management — which tracks AWS Reserved Instance and Savings Plan utilisation, identifies coverage gaps, and recommends reservation purchases based on historical usage patterns — enables APAC enterprises to maximise the discount benefit of AWS commitment-based pricing. APAC organisations with unpredictable workload patterns often under-utilise reservations they've purchased while leaving other consistent workloads on on-demand pricing; CloudHealth's reservation optimisation identifies these mismatches.

CloudHealth's governance policies — which enforce resource tagging requirements (all AWS resources in APAC regions must have Cost Centre and Team tags), auto-terminate untagged or development resources after configurable time periods, and alert on cost anomalies above configured thresholds — provide APAC cloud governance teams with the automated policy enforcement that manual review cannot achieve at enterprise scale.
