SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cloud resources are routinely over-provisioned leading to waste and higher costs. Rightsizing matches allocation to actual usage, trimming idle capacity and eliminating over-provisioning bottlenecks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rightsize recommendations: downsize over-provisioned resources, resize under-provisioned ones, and terminate idle instances.
  • Cost savings guidance: estimate savings and stages for implementation, including remaining commitment periods.
  • Practical workflows: monthly optimization reviews, governance with cost analysis, and production vs non-production prioritization.

Quick Start

Initiate a 30-day utilization analysis and produce a rightsizing plan for non-production first, then production workloads.

FAQPage Schema
How do I rightsize cloud resources to reduce infrastructure costs?▼

Cloud resource rightsizing analyzes utilization metrics like CPU, memory, disk, and network to align allocation with actual consumption. This identifies over-provisioned VMs, containers, and serverless workloads, outputting current versus proposed sizing alongside estimated cost savings.

What do I need to perform a cloud infrastructure cost optimization audit?▼

To perform a cost optimization audit, you need 30-day utilization metrics, a complete resource inventory, and performance requirements. These inputs enable the analysis to generate implementation guidance and estimated savings for production and non-production environments.

Can I get rightsizing recommendations for both VMs and serverless containers?▼

Yes, rightsizing recommendations apply across VMs, containers, and serverless resources. The analysis evaluates utilization data to downsize over-provisioned resources, resize under-provisioned ones, and terminate idle instances to eliminate cloud waste.

What is the best way to start a monthly cloud cost optimization review?▼

The best way to start a monthly cost optimization review is to initiate a 30-day utilization analysis and produce a rightsizing plan for non-production workloads first. After validating savings, you can proceed to rightsizing production environments.

Does cloud rightsizing account for existing resource commitment periods?▼

Yes, rightsizing guidance includes implementation stages that account for remaining commitment periods. This ensures cost savings recommendations are practical and align with existing cloud infrastructure contracts and resource lifecycle constraints.
