Resources

Where to find each LevelFour API method: one page per resource, with its parameters and the call in each SDK that carries it.

Each page below covers one resource: the methods that read or change it, the parameters they take, and the call in each SDK that carries it, with plain HTTP where an SDK does not.

The resources

ResourceWhat it covers
RecommendationsPending savings opportunities: idle resources, rightsizing, reserved instances
SavingsRealized savings from implemented recommendations
CostsCurrent cloud costs with breakdowns by service, account, and time period
ProvidersProvider-scoped reads for recommendations, savings and costs on AWS, GCP, Azure and Kubernetes
Cost AlertsAlerts that watch an account, a saved cost view or your commitments: create, change, pause, delete, and what each one said
CommitmentsReserved Instances and Savings Plans: inventory, utilization, coverage, effective savings rate and renewal pricing
Google CloudGoogle Cloud reads beyond the bill: data availability, inventory, idle resources, labels, utilization, budgets and access
AccountsConnected cloud accounts, what LevelFour can do in each, your modules, and connected work tools
Recommendations and Savings are not two views of one number: one counts opportunity nobody has applied, the other counts what was applied and measured. A figure that adds both double counts.

Next

  • SDKs is the client these methods hang off: constructor options, minimum versions and the sub-client names
  • Pagination has the envelope every list response carries, and the iterators that walk it for you
  • Error handling has which status raises which class in each SDK, and what the SDKs retry before you see it
  • Webhooks is registering an endpoint and verifying the signature before you act on the payload
  • API reference is the generated REST reference for the endpoints behind every method here
