I've been on several calls with customers this week discussing UCA and cost reporting within Azure/Nerdio. Their ask has been for more specific breakdowns when it comes to per-resource utilization.
Presently, when exporting resource costs to .csv from UCA, the spreadsheet has all resources displayed the same way Azure shows them which is broken up piece by piece. A VM doesn't just show as a VM, it shows as it's VM, storage, NIC, etc... Customers want the option to have these items grouped automatically into a single line item so they can break down each individual VM's cost using the VM's friendly name. They also want the tags associated with the combined resource so they can understand who is assigned to that VM.
To do this on the current exports they have to manually go through the spreadsheets and group the resources themselves then combine it with the tags.
For additional clarity, I can point you to a specific meeting recording if you would like to know more.
