Overview
About this service
A quick read on whether your cloud spend is reasonable for what you run. Export one month of billing data, tell us roughly what the workload is, and we will pick out the lines that do not fit: an oversized database, cross-zone data transfer, storage tiers left on the default, an environment somebody forgot to shut down. This is a skim rather than audit, so it will not find everything, but it usually finds enough to pay for itself many times over.
