Optimization
Cloudaware Cost Management helps FinOps and engineering teams convert cost analysis into actionable savings opportunities. Typical optimization areas include rightsizing, commitment efficiency, non-production scheduling, and waste reduction.
This section describes how to use Cost Management to design and operate repeatable optimization programs instead of performing isolated cost cleanup efforts.
Rightsizing
Start here when you need to reduce overprovisioning or validate rightsizing recommendations with application owners. Use this guide to identify resources whose size, shape, or configuration does not match actual workload demand.
Commitments & Reservations
Analyze Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, reservations, and committed use discounts. Refer to this guide when planning purchases, reviewing utilization, or measuring whether commitments are delivering expected savings.
Scheduling & Off-Hours
Reduce non-production and batch workload costs with stop/start or scale-down schedules. Use this guide when workloads have predictable idle windows and need safe operating rules.
Waste Reduction
Detect and remove idle, orphaned, unused, or low-value resources. Use this guide when you need a structured cleanup workflow for baseline spend reduction and ongoing cost hygiene.
