What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes Alibaba Cloud resources to identify idle and underutilized assets across multiple products (ECS/RDS/EBS/EIP/SLB/CDN and more) and provides actionable cost-saving recommendations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-product cost optimization analysis across ECS, RDS, EBS, EIP, SLB, CDN, Redis, NAS, MSE, Elasticsearch, RocketMQ, and other services.
  • Idle and underutilization detection using cloud monitoring metrics and resource state data to surface release or downsizing opportunities.
  • Automated recommendations for rightsizing, releasing, or switching payment models with pricing workflow fallbacks (BSS/OpenAPI/open data) and comprehensive cost impact reporting.
  • Supports hot-reloadable Skill definitions and multi-agent collaboration for scalable deployment and maintenance.

Quick Start

Provide region and credentials to run a complete cost-optimization analysis across Alibaba Cloud services and review the generated recommendations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect idle and underutilized Alibaba Cloud resources to reduce cloud costs?▼

To detect idle Alibaba Cloud resources and reduce cloud costs, you can analyze cloud monitoring metrics and resource state data across ECS, RDS, and SLB to surface release or downsizing opportunities, generating actionable cost-saving recommendations with projected savings.

What is the best way to automate rightsizing recommendations for Alibaba Cloud ECS and RDS instances?▼

Automating rightsizing recommendations for Alibaba Cloud ECS and RDS involves analyzing utilization metrics against pricing data. This process uses a multi-source pricing workflow including bill data and OpenAPI inquiries to return cost_before, cost_after, and cost_savings for actionable downsizing decisions.

Does Alibaba Cloud cost optimization support analyzing network assets like EIP and CDN?▼

Yes, Alibaba Cloud cost optimization supports analyzing network assets like EIP and CDN. It performs region-wide optimization across multiple products including EIP, SLB, CDN, VPC, and NAS to identify underutilized resources and provide cost-saving recommendations.

How does the multi-source pricing workflow handle fallbacks when calculating Alibaba Cloud cost savings?▼

The multi-source pricing workflow handles fallbacks by sequentially checking bill data, BSS inquiry, and OpenAPI price inquiry to calculate Alibaba Cloud cost savings. If one source fails, it defaults to the next, ensuring comprehensive cost impact reporting with error handling.

Can I analyze Alibaba Cloud RocketMQ and Elasticsearch instances for underutilization?▼

Yes, you can analyze Alibaba Cloud RocketMQ and Elasticsearch instances for underutilization. The cross-product analysis covers these services alongside Redis, NAS, and MSE to identify idle assets and generate actionable recommendations for releasing or rightsizing.
