Hello, I run a small DevOps consulting company. Can we create one single CloudForecast.io account with independent customers of ours each having multiple AWS accounts? Essentially a single login to view all customers grouped by AWS account?


Thanks for the question. That's a use case we haven't considered yet, great feedback! As of today, we are using the Organization concept in AWS so "One CloufForecast.io account" == "One Master billing account in AWS". Your use case seems to be slightly different since it's multiple accounts across multiple clients. I would love to discuss options with you and see if we can help. We recently started discussing options with consultant/agency to figure out how to best work together. Please reach out to us at hello@cloudforecast.io.


I haven't had the time to try this. But my issue with built-in AWS forecast is it'll be totally inaccurate once Reserved Instance come into play. Does CloudForecast solve this issue?


We treat Reserved Instance spending differently in order to provide an accurate forecast. The spend will be treated differently based on your purchase type (All Upfront, Partial Upfront, and No Upfront). Please reach out at francois@cloudforecast.io if you more questions.
