Description of Current Templates
Tailwarden currently offers four key dashboard templates, each designed to cater to different aspects of cloud resource management:
Invoice Dashboard
Use Case: Universal across all CSPs, this dashboard helps you monitor billing and invoice data, making it easier to track expenses and understand cost distribution.
Compute Dashboard
Use Case: Focused on AWS, this template provides insights into compute resources costs, helping you optimize those expenditures.
Storage Dashboard
Use Case: Specific to AWS, track costs from data storage resources.
Network Dashboard
Use Case: Exclusive to AWS, this dashboard allows you to monitor network traffic, usage patterns, and associated costs, essential for maintaining efficient and cost-effective network operations.
Each template is currently optimized for AWS, except for the Invoice Dashboard, which is applicable across multiple CSPs, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. These templates serve as a starting point, from which you can further customize your dashboard to better fit your specific monitoring and management requirements.
