August 09, 2022, Conformity—End of Life - Conformity Cost Optimization Feature
In *April 2020*, we decided to deprecate the Cost Optimization feature, which has
helped Standalone Conformity customers manage their AWS costs. It has been deprecated
as of *July 2022* and will reach the end of life on 10th September 2022.
Why are we doing this?
The Cost Optimization feature used data from the deprecated AWS ‘Detailed Billing
Report’. AWS strongly recommends that all customers move away from this report and
migrate to the newer Cost and Usage Report.
We have decided to discontinue all support for Cost Analysis as our strategic focus
as Trend Micro Cloud One ™ Conformity is on core Cloud Security Posture management
(CSPM) features.
What does it mean for you?
No Cost Optimization widget - you will stop seeing the Cost Optimization widget on
your Organizations’ Main Dashboard.
What happens to the Cost Rules?
All Cost category rules except for the following Rules will still be available to
all customers. We’re deprecating these four Rules because their AWS data source is
a deprecated AWS billing report.
What do I need to do?
You don't need to do anything at your end. If you wish, you can turn off the AWS Billing
report used by Conformity. If you have any concerns or queries regarding the end of
life for the Cost Optimization feature, please reach out to your account managers.
*This feature is unavailable to our Trend Micro Cloud One ™ Conformity customers.*
