I live in Manchester, England now. I moved here from Texas last summer (which is its own story), but the thing I wasn't prepared for is how the Industrial Revolution isn't history here. It's the city itself. And if you're American like me, you might need to hear this: the Industrial Revolution didn't start in the US. It started here. Manchester is where the modern world was born.

CloudZero's new AWS Kiro integration puts cost intelligence directly in your agentic IDE. Ask plain-language questions about spend, attribution, and cost-per-serve without leaving your development workflow.

Notes from a finance leader whose job this is. A few weeks ago, I traveled to Philadelphia for a conversation with a prospective CloudZero customer. We’d been working with the prospect’s engineering team for some weeks, demoing our platform in view of the RFP they’d drawn up.

AI has since become an integral part of our lives, whether it’s for work or personal use; we all use AI in some form or another.

As far back as 2020, Barclays found that 43% of enterprise CIOs were already planning to bring workloads back from the public cloud to on-premises or private cloud infrastructure1. Since then, IDC, Gartner and a host of vendor surveys have tracked an increase in this intention.

Part of what makes Cloud Provider Observability in Grafana Cloud really useful is that it gives you prebuilt dashboards and drill-downs for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Out of the box you get service overviews, instance-level views, and quick links to explore your data. However, you might already have dashboards you trust, want a view tailored to your team’s workflow, or need to change which panels show up when you drill into a single instance.
