Customer Feedback on Resource Inventory Feature | Couchbase Inc

The customer has raised concerns about how AWS EBS volumes and their associated charge types are represented in Cloudability’s Resource Inventory and cost reports.

Specifically:

EBS volumes often appear with multiple charge types (storage, IOPS, throughput).

Today, these appear as separate line items scattered across the report.

This makes it difficult for the customer to understand the total cost of a single EBS volume or interpret its effective cost rate.

When they filter down to a single EBS volume, Cloudability only shows one of the charge types (e.g., IOPS), making it unclear how the other charges tie back to the same resource.

The customer is asking whether Cloudability plans to consolidate all charge types for a single resource into a unified view (e.g., grouping EBS storage + IOPS + throughput under one resource record) to simplify cost visibility.

Is there an existing enhancement or roadmap item to provide a unified or grouped cost view for AWS EBS volumes that combines all charge types ?
