Each movement is attributed by the organisation's ownership rules (cloudledger rule): a tag, a linked account or a name pattern. What none of them claims is unowned, and that is the finding. The costed actions are not built yet.

Monthly report

Cloud spend in August 2026 was 9 640, 1.5% above the monthly budget of 9 500.

Not every earlier month of the year is on record here, so this report gives no year-to-date figure.

Virtual machines, D4s v5 added 390: the office file server migrated to Azure.

Managed disks, premium SSD added 140: the file server's data disk.

Unowned spend is 720, 7% of the bill, spread across 11 resources carrying no team tag. It cannot be attributed to anyone, and it will appear in every report until the tags exist.

No forecast is made yet, so this report does not say where next month lands.

No costed actions are recorded for this account yet.
