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 September 2026 was 9 420, 0.8% below 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 took 220 off the bill: reserved instance bought for the file server.
Unowned spend is 700, 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.
