Overlaying costs by Group By

💡

The Group By use case

When you need to map the cost of multiple accounts/services, and split it according to the actual cost each account/service is taking from the total, you can use the new Group By option in the mapping.

• The Group By options are: Linked Account, Region, Service, Cloud Provider, Payer account, Family Type, and Operation.

Example: Split your support service costs over all linked accounts

Example 2: Split shared linked account cost over all other linked accounts

To use the Group By you will need to

1. Mapping 1:
   1. Create your mapping, set its type to "Groupby"
   2. Select the Groupby dimension from the available options
2. Mapping 2:
   1. Create the mapping stating the shared cost to split
   2. Choose ratio as the split option and choose Mapping 1, Umbrella will split the cost based on the Group By dimension.
