Visualize 'Confluent Cloud' Billing Status

We would like to visualize the billing status of Confluent Cloud in order to manage budget vs. actuals for usage-based services. In addition, we want to detect sudden increases in usage and trigger alerts accordingly.

One of my customers, who is currently using Turbonomic, is planning to migrate their Kafka environment built on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to Confluent Cloud.
However, since Confluent Cloud includes usage-based pricing components, there is concern about potential sudden increases in costs.

Up to now, the customer has been able to visualize Azure billing information using Turbonomic, which has helped them manage and monitor costs effectively. Therefore, it would be highly beneficial if Confluent Cloud costs could also be visualized in a similar manner to enable better cost management and early detection of unexpected usage spikes.
