SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cloud costs can spiral due to IaC misconfigurations and wasteful defaults. This Skill helps teams identify cost inefficiencies in infrastructure code and provides actionable recommendations to reduce monthly spend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rightsizing & autoscaling: flag oversized instances and missing autoscaling policies.
  • Cost-aware code review: assess Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts for cost-saving opportunities like reserved instances or better storage classes.
  • Remediation guidance & reporting: output findings with estimated monthly savings and practical steps for implementation.

Quick Start

Use the cost-optimization skill to scan an IaC directory and generate a remediation plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find cloud waste in Terraform and Kubernetes manifests?▼

To find cloud cost savings in Terraform, scan IaC files to flag oversized instances, missing autoscaling policies, and inefficient storage tiers. The analysis produces a structured remediation plan with estimated monthly savings.

What IaC formats can I scan to reduce my monthly cloud spend?▼

You can reduce monthly cloud spend by scanning Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts. The scan assesses configurations for oversized instances, missing autoscaling, and storage tier opportunities to generate savings estimates.

Does this approach work with Helm charts and CloudFormation templates?▼

Yes, this approach works with Helm charts and CloudFormation templates. It assesses your infrastructure code across multiple formats to identify cost inefficiencies and outputs remediation guidance suitable for sprint planning.

How do I get estimated monthly savings from infrastructure code?▼

You get estimated monthly savings from infrastructure code by analyzing IaC templates for wasteful defaults and misconfigurations. The process outputs a structured set of findings with calculated savings and practical implementation steps.

What is the best way to flag missing autoscaling policies in IaC?▼

The best way to flag missing autoscaling policies in IaC is to run a cost-aware code review. This identifies missing configurations and oversized instances, producing actionable remediation guidance to reduce your monthly spend.
