Product to compute multi-cloud cost in a blink

3
•
Hi everyone, a friend of mine who is a data engineer and me are working on a B2B SaaS platform that allows you to sunmarise cloud costs across multiple clouds (AWS, GCP, etc) in one easy clear, concise UI interface for companies that rely on more than one cloud. This project is derived from a need we have at work, but we aren’t yet sure if there is market for this. Any devOps, CTO’s, data or software engineers here, think that this could be useful? We see some players in the market but solutions seem too expensive. Curious to get some inputs

I like the idea, although I personally haven't worked on a team or product that uses multiple different cloud providers; typically, the mix I've encountered is on-prem with one of AWS/GCP/Azure. In my experience, big companies have deals worked out with a single cloud provider, and use their own in-house services for any sensitive or custom use case they have. Not sure about smaller/other companies though! Could you point me towards the current other solutions? Would be curious to see their business case and maybe i could provide more insight. I've worked DevOps/Sec for AWS and Cisco

@antoine_torossian that is correct. Though it is quite a hassel to create custom use cases. That is where we are coming from. As for the current solutions I know only a few like VMware, Appito, anodot etc. I would as well love to get more insight. Currently we are facing the following problems 1. Finding the pilot customer to start the project with 2. Finding the correct set of DevOps manager or CTOs to validate the business case. Would love to hear your thought :)

@sushrut_chafadker Sorry, I don't think I fully understand "Though it is quite a hassel to create custom use cases. That is where we are coming from." I was pointing out that some companies implement their own in-house infra for their custom use cases. It is a hassle, but often necessary. Wondering how that ties in to aggregating pricing across different, paid cloud providers if their using their own setup?
