Azure Billing Validation: Support for EA Subscription

DigitalEx allows users to onboard their Enterprise Agreement (EA) account with one of the subscriptions as a billing account. This means that you can use the EA account to pay for the resources and services that you consume within the subscription. By onboarding your EA account in this way, you can take advantage of the benefits of the EA, such as volume pricing discounts and the ability to manage your cloud spend at an enterprise level.

Cost Anomaly (Beta)

"DigitalEx has introduced cost anomaly detection to help users reduce unexpected costs and gain greater control over their cloud spend. Once you set up this feature, DigitalEx will notify you with individual alerts via email or other channels if it detects an unusual spike in your costs. This can be helpful for identifying and addressing potential issues with your cloud resources, such as unexpected usage or billing errors, to prevent unexpected cost surprises."
