First, we've added additional device support for Google Kubernetes environment, Azure Table Storage, Azure Virtual WAN, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS Transit Gateway. Second, and what I'll show shortly, are the new cloud cost dashboards. Keep an eye on your daily, monthly, and yearly cloud costs in one place, rather than logging into each provider individually. Let's dive in. So here you can see we're starting out on our cloud summary dashboard, where you can get a high level view on your entire cloud infrastructure that you're monitoring, including your applications, storage, and other assets, as well as all of the instances in your virtual network gateways and connections. But what we're here to see is the new cloud cost dashboards. So let's take a look. We have AWS costs, Azure costs, and GCP costs, and we can see each of those. They look very similar, so I'm just going to jump into one so we can take a look. So as you can see, we have a month and a year tab, and we can get a quick glance at all of our costs by service type, by service, our daily costs, as we move here to the yearly costs, so we can see where we're spending our money and where we perhaps can optimize our cloud spend. We have fewer entities in our GCP dashboard, so if we look at another one, let's go take a look at AWS. We'll get a better look at if we have more cloud in different places, we can get all that information in one place. So rather than logging into our AWS dashboard through Amazon, or through Microsoft for Azure, or through Google for GCP, you can get one area where you can go check your cloud costs, and you can do some cloud optimizations, where if you can see these AC2 instances are spending more money than they were predicted to, maybe you need to make some optimizations there, or perhaps if you're spending more money in a region than you thought you were, you'll get a quick look there as well. So we can take a look at our yearly as well, so we can get a high-level overview of how we're spending our costs in the cloud, and then additionally make plans and decisions to strategize on how we're spending in the future. If you're interested in taking a look at this yourself, you're welcome to dive into our free online demo, or upgrade your observability self-hosted instance to 2026.2.

TL;DR

  • SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted 2026.2 introduces unified cloud cost dashboards covering AWS, Azure, and GCP in a single interface.
  • New device support extends to Google Kubernetes, Azure Table Storage, Azure Virtual WAN, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS Transit Gateway.
  • Cost dashboards provide monthly and yearly breakdowns by service type, service, and region to help identify optimization opportunities.

Summary

This short product demo walks through the new cloud cost dashboards introduced in SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted 2026.2. The release also adds expanded device support for Google Kubernetes environments, Azure Table Storage, Azure Virtual WAN, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS Transit Gateway. The centerpiece feature is a unified cost visibility layer that consolidates AWS, Azure, and GCP spending into a single interface — eliminating the need to log into each cloud provider's native console separately. The dashboards offer monthly and yearly views broken down by service type, individual service, and region, enabling teams to quickly identify where cloud spend is concentrated and where optimization opportunities may exist. The demo highlights a practical use case: spotting EC2 instances running over budget and identifying unexpected regional spend. For organizations managing multi-cloud environments, this consolidation supports faster decision-making around cloud cost strategy and future spend planning. Viewers are directed to a free interactive demo or encouraged to upgrade their existing Observability Self-Hosted instance to version 2026.2.
