# OCI Cost Optimization | PointFive: Oracle Cloud in Your Multi-Cloud View Canonical: https://www.pointfive.co/coverage/oci Understand and optimize Oracle Cloud Infrastructure costs alongside AWS, Azure, and GCP, with visibility, anomaly detection, optimization, and approved automated remediation. OCI OCI Cost Optimization # Understand and optimize your OCI costs. Analyze OCI spend, investigate anomalies, and act on optimization opportunities with approved automated remediation in PointFive OS. [Book a demo](https://www.pointfive.co/request-demo) 12 months Of cost history Daily Anomaly detection AWS, Azure, GCP + OCI In one view ## Visibility, optimization, and remediation for OCI ### Understand spend across your OCI environment The same cost analysis you already run on your other clouds, now reading OCI. - Cost over time, cost breakdowns, and ranked summaries - Group by tenancy, compartment, service, region, or charge type - Universal Credits and pay-as-you-go spend separated automatically - 12 months of cost history backfilled when you connect ### Catch unexpected spend OCI is included in PointFive's daily anomaly detection, so unexpected changes in spend surface automatically alongside anomalies from your other cloud providers. ### Optimize and remediate Review OCI optimization recommendations and execute approved remediation through PointFive OS. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed. ## Analyze OCI costs the way your environment is organized PointFive supports OCI-native dimensions, so you can group and filter spend based on how your tenancies and resources are structured. ### Tenancy Analyze costs by tenancy, including environments using OCI Organizations with multiple tenancies. ### Compartment Attribute costs across OCI compartments, including nested structures. ### Service Understand which OCI services are driving spend. ### Region Compare costs across OCI regions. ### Charge type Separate Universal Credits from pay-as-you-go spend. The five OCI dimensions PointFive groups and filters spend by: tenancy at the top, holding nested compartments beneath it, with service, region, and charge type applied across them. Charge type splits into Universal Credits and pay-as-you-go. OCI spend is grouped and filtered on the structure Oracle already uses: tenancy, compartment, service, region, and charge type. ## One multi-cloud cost view PointFive gives multi-cloud teams one place to understand spend across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and data platforms such as Snowflake and Databricks. With OCI in that view, teams running Oracle Cloud alongside other providers can analyze costs and investigate anomalies without switching between separate provider dashboards or reconciling spend by hand. ## Connect OCI to PointFive - 01 Generate your access grant. PointFive generates an authentication key pair. Only the public key is shared with OCI, while the private key remains in PointFive. - 02 Deploy the access stack through Terraform, OCI Resource Manager, or CloudShell using a single policy grant at the tenancy root. - 03 Add your service user OCID. Copy it into PointFive to complete the connection. - 04 Start analyzing your OCI costs. PointFive automatically begins backfilling your OCI cost history. ## Access defined by your organization - Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed. - Key-pair authentication with a PointFive-generated private key - Private key remains in PointFive - Discovery access granted at the tenancy root compartment - No compute, agents, or persistent footprint in your tenancy - Billing data read through Oracle's FOCUS report - Data encrypted at rest ## Common questions about OCI coverage ### For discovery, PointFive connects through a read-only service user and a PointFive-generated key pair. Deploy the access stack through Terraform, OCI Resource Manager, or CloudShell, then provide the service user OCID to PointFive. The private key remains in PointFive. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed. ### PointFive ingests OCI cost data through Oracle's FOCUS report and lets you analyze spend by tenancy, compartment, service, region, and charge type, including Universal Credits and pay-as-you-go spend. ### Yes. OCI is available alongside AWS, Azure, and GCP in PointFive, giving multi-cloud teams one place to analyze costs and investigate anomalies across providers. ### Yes, from day one. Each tenancy connects individually, the pattern already used for connecting multiple AWS accounts. ### A full 12 months of cost history backfills automatically the moment you connect a tenancy. ### Yes. PointFive OS supports OCI cost visibility, anomaly detection, optimization recommendations, and approved automated remediation. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed. --- Source: the public page above.
