Cut AWS cloud waste with an AI FinOps agent
Identify unattached EBS volumes, orphaned snapshots, unused Elastic IPs, and stale AMIs for approved cleanup, routing idle load balancers for owner review.
Platform engineers, DevOps teams, and FinOps practitioners managing AWS infrastructure costs.
View use case
Investigate AWS cost anomalies with an AI agent
Agent root-causes AWS cost anomaly spikes by service, region, and usage type — then routes a decision-ready case with owner context to the right team.
Platform engineering, SRE, and engineering managers who get paged on billing anomalies.
View use case
AWS rightsizing recommendations and execution
Surface over-provisioned EC2 and RDS from Compute Optimizer, enrich with CloudWatch utilization, and execute approved downsizes under governance.
Platform engineers, SREs, and FinOps leads responsible for compute efficiency.
