Streamlined User Onboarding
Administrators have a much more flexible toolkit for onboarding users and configuring the organization this week. You can now resend invitations that have expired or been cancelled — no need to start over — and assign new users to one or more access control groups directly at invite time, so they arrive with the right permissions from day one. Organization-level settings, including the display name and invite-only status, are now fully manageable through the public API, and the invite-only flag is included in every organization API response. Together, these changes cut the steps required to bring teammates into CloudZero with the right access, whether you're driving onboarding through the UI or automating it from your own provisioning workflow.
New CostFormation Transform - Lookup
Cost contexts and other CostFormation dimensions now support a Lookup transform that pulls a specific field out of a JSON source value. Point at meta.region for nested fields, items[0].name for array elements, or user:on_ramp for keys with special characters — no more chaining Split transforms against custom delimiters. The payoff: richer source data without pre-flattening, and accurate allocation against modern JSON payloads. See the Lookup transform example.
Improved
- UX: Right-clicking any column header now offers "Autosize this column" and "Autosize all columns" options to instantly fit column widths to their content across all tables.
- Anomalies: Anomalies page now include a rows-per-page selector in the table footer, matching the control already available in Optimize.
- UX: You can now press Tab to move focus through filter value options in dropdowns across Explorer, Optimize, and Access Controls, making keyboard-driven filtering faster.
- Explorer: Cost comparison now requires only a single start date instead of separate Period A/B pickers, and the cost table automatically shows Total Cost, Previous Period, and Cost Difference columns when a comparison is active.
- Datadog Connection: Datadog cost ingestion now prioritizes high-value rows and skips sub-microcent entries, dramatically reducing sync time and eliminating timeouts on large accounts.
- Optimize: Filter dropdown options are now sorted alphabetically, making it faster to find a specific service, account, or resource type without scanning an unordered list.
- Resource Details: Cost Allocation Tags and Cloud Tags are now shown as a single unified Tags section — with a Source column when both are present — so you can see all resource tags in one place across Explorer and Optimize.
- Cursor Connection: Cursor events now include session-level identifiers and per-event token counts — input, output, cache write, and cache read — giving you finer-grained visibility into AI usage and cost.
- Explorer: The configurations panel now shows Create a View, Save/Unsave, and Open in New Tab actions on all history items, and the panel itself can be expanded to a wider view for easier browsing.
- Explorer: The Back button in nested panel views is now pinned to the panel header so it stays visible while scrolling, and the panel title updates to reflect your current location.
- Explorer: The configurations panel History tab replaces nested sub-tabs with collapsible Favorites and Recents accordion sections, each showing item counts, with a single Expand All / Collapse All control.
- Optimize: Effort Level labels across recommendations, insights, and anomalies now include a tooltip with time estimates and concrete examples — Low (under 1 day), Medium (3–5 days), High (1+ weeks) — so you can gauge the work involved at a glance.
- Organization Settings: Email invitations now remain valid for 14 days instead of 5, giving recipients more time to accept before the link expires.
- Cursor Connection: Cursor Cloud Agent runs now appear as individual resources in Explorer rather than collapsing under the triggering user, giving you accurate per-run cost visibility.
Fixes
- Views: The Edit View drawer no longer crashes with a render error when opened, so you can reliably update saved view filters.
- UX: Top bar controls — cost type, granularity, date picker, and saved configs — are now always clickable after scrolling down the page.
- Explorer: The Resource Details flyout no longer resets to Real Cost when opening — your selected cost type is now preserved when drilling into a resource.
- CloudZero MCP: The get_user_organizations tool no longer errors for API key-authenticated callers — it now correctly returns the organization the key is scoped to.
- Analytics: Moving dashboards to folders no longer fails with an error — only the destination folder is now sent when moving, rather than conflicting with the dashboard title.
- Explorer: Query history tooltips now display the correct date range — dates no longer shift back by one day for users in time zones west of UTC.
- Explorer: The "Cost of Change" and "% of Change" columns in the Customize Table panel now correctly appear and disappear when the Cost Trends toggle is turned on or off.
- UX: Search result highlights across the platform no longer insert extra spaces after matched characters, keeping names and labels correctly formatted.
- Telemetry Streams: Hidden dimensions — such as budget-specific cost dimensions — now appear in the target dimension picker when configuring unit cost streams, restoring full mapping flexibility.
- Explorer: Resource identifiers such as Bedrock inference profiles and Secrets Manager secrets now appear correctly in filter dropdowns instead of being hidden, restoring parity with the classic experience.
- GitHub Connection: GitHub billing history requests are now clamped to the earliest date the API supports, preventing sync failures on accounts with data predating the Enhanced Billing Platform.
- Explorer: Clicking "View in Explorer" from an anomaly now correctly opens the Anomalies view in the configurations panel instead of the Events flyout.
- Explorer: GCP resources in the details flyout now default to Service Detail instead of Usage Type, so cost breakdowns are populated with meaningful data instead of empty values.
- Explorer: Overlay comparison charts now reflect the selected color palette, and switching between side-by-side and overlay modes correctly re-enables the Apply button.
- Optimize: The Savings Plans recommendation detail chart now correctly reflects org-wide EC2, Fargate, and Lambda spend rather than showing near-zero spend for the management account.
- Databricks Connection: Databricks Model Serving and AI Gateway endpoints that share the same endpoint ID are now tracked as separate resources, preventing tags from one from incorrectly appearing on the other.
