SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams find where cloud spending is wasteful and translate opaque bills into clear, actionable recommendations that reduce costs without breaking reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Right-size resources using utilization vs. provisioned capacity to target idle, underutilized, or over-provisioned infrastructure.
  • Recommend cost-saving purchasing options by evaluating reserved instance and savings plan opportunities with break-even calculations.
  • Produce structured optimization reports that include top savings opportunities, confidence levels, anomalies/spikes alerts, and practical next actions for engineering teams.

Quick Start

Ask the Cost Optimizer to generate a monthly cost optimization report for your AWS, GCP, and Azure accounts and include top savings opportunities with confidence levels.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify wasteful cloud spend and generate savings recommendations across AWS, GCP, and Azure?

To identify wasteful cloud spend, you can generate a cost optimization report that analyzes resource utilization against provisioned capacity across AWS, GCP, and Azure. This produces prioritized savings recommendations with confidence levels and actionable next steps for engineering teams.

What is the best way to evaluate reserved instances and savings plans for cloud cost optimization?

Evaluating reserved instances and savings plans involves analyzing your usage patterns to calculate break-even points and potential discounts. A cost optimization report can recommend these purchasing options by comparing your current on-demand usage against available savings plan opportunities.

How does anomaly detection work for unexpected cloud billing spikes?

Anomaly detection for cloud billing spikes works by continuously analyzing spending patterns to flag unexpected cost increases. It identifies deviations from normal usage baselines and includes these alerts in structured optimization reports so teams can investigate and resolve the underlying causes quickly.

Can I right-size underutilized infrastructure without breaking application reliability?

Yes, you can right-size underutilized infrastructure safely by comparing actual utilization metrics against provisioned capacity. The process applies reliability-safe guidance to ensure that downsizing or terminating idle resources will not negatively impact your application performance or availability.

Does cloud cost optimization support tagging-based cost allocation for multi-cloud accounts?

Cloud cost optimization supports tagging-based cost allocation by analyzing resource tags to distribute expenses across teams or projects. This applies to workflows across AWS, GCP, and Azure accounts, helping you structure monthly reports with clear accountability for each billing category.

When should I not use right-sizing recommendations for my cloud infrastructure?

You should be cautious with right-sizing recommendations when your infrastructure handles highly variable or unpredictable workloads. While the process includes reliability-safe guidance, resources with strict performance requirements or sudden traffic spikes may require over-provisioning to maintain availability.
