Review cloud inventory, costs, and governance

Establish a cloud scope

Open Cloud management & FinOps. Select the provider and the intended account, project, subscription or folder. Use the dedicated integration identity with required inventory and billing visibility. Confirm that the record used for provider connectivity matches the intended tenant and scope.

Reconcile data and act on findings

1. Run the configured inventory or billing import on a small scope first. Inspect the run outcome, evidence date, project ownership, labels and normalized CI relationships.
2. Compare the imported cost and currency with the provider's billing period and export granularity. Confirm tags, owner, budgets, and allocation dimension used by your view.
3. Review the applicable governance plan and required approval. Record projected cost and risk, and review the proposed resources before taking action.
4. Verify final action status, provider receipt and resulting inventory. Confirm the new cost or compliance signal after the next successful import.

Troubleshoot

When cost is missing, check billing export availability and lag, time range, permissions and currency. When scope is incomplete, inspect project filters, label coverage and source credential permissions. Keep run and plan identifiers in the escalation.
