; }; **GET STARTED** For video tutorials, check out [Vantage University](/vantage_university) . ## Step 1 - Create an Account * To get started, [create a Vantage account](https://console.vantage.sh/signup). * Optionally, you can upgrade to a paid plan to unlock additional features and track higher amounts of cloud infrastructure costs. View the [Vantage Pricing page](https://www.vantage.sh/pricing) for all pricing and plan details. All paid plans have an option to trial the service before committing to a subscription. **LANGUAGE SUPPORT** The Vantage console UI is currently available in English only. However, the [FinOps Agent](/vantage_finops_agent) can answer questions and provide cost analysis in other languages when interacting via Slack. ## Step 2 - Connect Providers Next, create a data integration between at least one of your providers and Vantage. Detailed integration documentation is linked for each of the providers below.
Vantage integrates with your AWS account through a Cross-Account IAM role, giving Vantage read-only access to an organization's cost data. After the initial sync, you will be able to take advantage of features in Vantage to manage, inspect, and model your AWS spend. Vantage integrates with your Azure account through a service principal, providing read-only access to your cost data. Vantage supports pay-as-you-go, Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) billing models. Vantage integrates with your GCP account through a service account, providing Vantage with read-only access to an organization's cost data. Following the creation of the role with the appropriate permissions, Vantage will initiate the synchronization of cost data and resource metadata. Vantage allows you to see in-cluster costs for Kubernetes clusters, including seeing costs by container, service, namespace and label. The Vantage Kubernetes agent is the recommended integration point for ingesting Kubernetes costs into Vantage. Vantage integrates with Anthropic using an Admin API key (Claude API) and a Claude Enterprise Analytics API key (Claude.ai). Vantage integrates with Anyscale using a platform API key. Vantage integrates with CircleCI using a personal API token and organization UUID to ingest usage export data and convert credits into cost using your configured price per credit. Vantage integrates with ClickHouse Cloud via a read-only Developer key. Vantage integrates with your Confluent account through a revocable read/write API key and secret. Confluent API keys are free for you to create—and adding to the Vantage console only takes a few minutes. Vantage integrates with your Coralogix account through a revocable read-only API key and your Coralogix domain. Vantage integrates with Cursor using a read-only API key to track usage and costs. Vantage integrates with your Databricks account using a dedicated Serverless SQL Warehouse to query system tables within a Unity Catalog-enabled workspace. Vantage integrates with your Datadog account through a read-only Datadog OAuth token. After connecting, Vantage automatically receives read-only access to appropriate cost and usage APIs to begin ingesting Datadog cost data. Vantage integrates with Elastic Cloud using a Billing Admin API key to ingest cost and usage data for your Elastic organizations. Vantage integrates with your Fastly account through a read-only API token. Fastly API tokens are free for you to create—and adding them to the Vantage console only takes a few minutes. Vantage integrates with GitHub using the Billing - vantage-sh GitHub application. Vantage integrates with Grafana Cloud via a read-only token attached to a cloud access policy. Vantage integrates with Linode via a read-only API key. Vantage also uses service-specific APIs to enrich cost data with additional resource-specific metadata. Vantage integrates with MongoDB Atlas account through read-only use of the Invoices API. To see Active Resources for your MongoDB Atlas account, Vantage uses the Clusters API and the Projects API. Vantage integrates with your New Relic account through the use of New Relic Usage Data via the New Relic GraphQL API. Vantage integrates with OpenAI via an Admin Key and queries the Costs endpoint of the Usage API. Vantage connects to Oracle Cloud using a read-only IAM user and API key to read from a Cost and Usage Reports object storage bucket. Vantage integrates with your PlanetScale account via the PlanetScale Invoices API using an OAuth workflow. Vantage integrates with Redis using an account key and user key to ingest FOCUS-formatted cost data. Vantage integrates with your Snowflake account through a secure, read-only user who has access to Snowflake usage tables. Optionally, Vantage can pull from a dedicated schema that you create. Vantage integrates with Temporal Cloud using an API key with Finance Admin permissions to ingest Cloud Billing API data. Vantage integrates with Twilio using a Standard API key. Vantage integrates with Vercel through a Vercel Community Integration to ingest cost and usage data across services like Functions, Delivery Network, and Observability. Vantage integrates any of your Custom Providers through a schema based on the FinOps FOCUS specification.

**OTHER PROVIDERS** Vantage will be launching support for additional cloud infrastructure providers in the future. If you have a particular provider that you would like supported, please reach out to [support@vantage.sh](mailto:support@vantage.sh). ## Step 3 - View Ingested Costs and Create Cost Reporting Resources Once you create some provider integrations, Vantage will automatically begin ingesting billing information for your account. The default landing page in the Vantage console is the [**Overview**](/overview) page. This page serves as an executive-level summary, providing a comprehensive snapshot of the cost metrics that matter most to you. Use the **Explore** bar in the top navigation to quickly access pages, reports, dashboards, and other resources in your current workspace. ## Next Steps - After Your First Integration Imports After connecting a provider and waiting for the initial import to complete, use the checklist below to get the most out of Vantage. Navigate to **Settings > Integrations** and confirm your integration shows a **Stable** status. If it shows **Importing**, data is still being backfilled. If it shows **Error** or **Warning**, see the [Integration Status](/vantage_account#integration-status) documentation for troubleshooting steps. By default, new integrations may not be visible in all workspaces. Navigate to **Settings > Workspaces** to manage which integrations are available in each workspace. See the [Workspaces](/workspaces#manage-workspace-provider-integrations) documentation for details. Navigate to **Reporting > Cost Reports** and click **+ New** to create a Cost Report. Add filters for the provider you just connected, select a date range, and save the report. See the [Cost Reports](/cost_reports) documentation for a full walkthrough. Once you have a Cost Report, you can attach a [budget](/budgets) to track spending against a target, or create a [Cost Alert](/cost_alerts) to receive notifications when costs exceed a threshold. Depending on your use case, consider setting up: * [Virtual Tags](/tagging) to organize costs without modifying your cloud infrastructure * [Dashboards](/dashboards) to create a centralized view of multiple Cost Reports * [Cost Recommendations](/cost_recommendations) to identify optimization opportunities * [Kubernetes cost monitoring](/kubernetes) if you run containerized workloads ### Upgrading Your Plan If you signed up for a free account and want to upgrade to a paid plan, navigate to **Settings > Billing** in the Vantage console. For questions about plan activation or billing, contact [support@vantage.sh](mailto:support@vantage.sh).
