Cloud cost optimization

Find cloud waste, explain spend, and review every optimization before it runs

Clanker Cloud brings cost signals into the same local AI Ops workspace as topology, runtime state, tags, deploy context, and approval gates.

Where Clanker Cloud helps

Cost optimization starts with evidence

Cloud bills are symptoms. Clanker Cloud helps operators trace those symptoms back to resources, workloads, ownership, and recent changes before a team touches production.

Find waste

Spot idle and oversized resources

Scan connected providers for underused compute, forgotten storage, stale load balancers, expensive NAT paths, and resource shapes that no longer match traffic.

Explain spikes

Tie spend movement to live context

Connect cost changes to resources, tags, regions, deploy windows, autoscaling events, Kubernetes workloads, and topology instead of stopping at a billing chart.

Review fixes

Turn findings into approved plans

Right-sizing, cleanup, scheduling, and routing changes can become reviewed action plans before anything is resized, deleted, moved, or purchased.

Workflow

From cost question to reviewed action

1. Connect

Use your existing accounts

Point the desktop app at your current AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or Vercel credentials. The credential boundary stays local.

2. Investigate

Ask cost questions in plain English

Ask what changed this week, which resources are wasting money, which teams or services own the spend, and whether the anomaly matches recent operational changes.

3. Optimize

Approve the change path

Use Clanker Cloud to draft the optimization plan, inspect the blast radius and estimated savings, then apply only after the proposed change is explicit.

FinOps demo

Watch Clanker Cloud inspect cost context

The demo shows the practical loop: scan live infrastructure, identify spend movement and waste, then keep optimization behind a reviewed decision instead of blindly applying changes.

Signals

Common cost opportunities Clanker Cloud can surface

Idle EC2, VM, node pool, and worker capacity.
Unattached disks, stale snapshots, and backup growth.
Expensive NAT, egress, and cross-region traffic paths.
Overprovisioned databases, caches, and Kubernetes requests.
Untagged or unattributed spend across teams and services.
Model and cloud spend viewed next to infrastructure state.
Ask your infrastructure

Use plain-English FinOps prompts

Clanker Cloud is useful when the question is operational, not just financial: what got expensive, why it moved, who owns it, and what a safe next action looks like.

What changed this week that could explain our cloud bill moving up?
Show me the top waste opportunities across connected providers.
Which Kubernetes workloads are over-requesting CPU or memory?
What can we safely clean up, and what needs a reviewed plan first?
Fit

Use it for cost context, not finance theater

Great for operators who need answers fast

Clanker Cloud is strongest when engineers need to explain spend through resources, topology, tags, and recent changes.

Works beside finance-grade FinOps tooling

Keep dedicated cost platforms for chargeback, allocation policy, and long-horizon reporting. Use Clanker Cloud for operational investigation and reviewed action.

Keeps cost work close to production reality

Cost is often tied to incidents, deploys, routing, scaling, and data movement. Clanker Cloud keeps those signals in the same local workflow.

Providers

Works with the stack you already run

Cost questions rarely stay inside one billing console. Clanker Cloud keeps cloud, Kubernetes, edge, GitHub, and model-provider context close to the same workflow.

Cloud cost optimization FAQ

Is Clanker Cloud a full FinOps platform?

No. Clanker Cloud is a local-first AI Ops workspace for cost investigation, infrastructure context, and reviewed optimization plans. Dedicated FinOps platforms still win for finance workflows, allocation policy, and long-term reporting depth.

Can it change infrastructure automatically?

Cost investigation is read-first. Changes such as right-sizing, deletion, scheduling, or routing updates should be generated as reviewed plans and explicitly approved before apply.

Which providers can it help with?

The product is built for multi-cloud operations across AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vercel, GitHub, and related local agent workflows.
