Optimization That Ships
Built for engineering workflows: identify, optimize, and deliver cloud improvements faster.
Three Ways Cloud ex Machina Helps You Optimize
Rate Optimization
Tie long-term cost decisions like Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and discount plans to real usage patterns. Teams get clear, scoped guidance on how to act.
- Commitment Management: Advanced RI and SP recommendations
- Commitment Renewal Planning: Anticipate expiring commitments and avoid coverage gaps
- Pre-Commitment Forecasting: Model long-term provisioning before scale hits
Usage Optimization
Identify underutilized resources and idle environments, then act on clear, targeted fixes to cut waste, not performance.
- Rightsizing: Detect and resolve overprovisioned compute and storage
- Environment Scheduling: Auto-stop unused dev/test environments based on activity patterns
- Idle Resource Cleanup: Flag and clean up idle volumes, unused endpoints, and stale services
Configuration Optimization
Surface and fix risky defaults, inefficient behaviors, and architecture choices that quietly inflate spend.
- Config Cost Checks: Flag oversized volumes, premium SKUs, and other expensive defaults
- Behavioral Spend Flags: Detect patterns like excess retries, noisy services, and high-fanout traffic
- Architecture Fit Suggestions: Recommend lower-cost designs based on observed workload behavior
See Opportunities. Track Projects. Prove Results.
Cloud ex Machina turns savings opportunities into actionable projects mapped to owners, tracked to completion, and tied to real outcomes. Everyone from engineers to execs sees what’s possible, what’s in motion, and what’s been delivered.
Engineering Leadership
- Track spend by application, team, and environment
- See where optimizations are happening and what they’ve delivered
- Validate budgets and investments with usage, trends, and completed savings projects
Platform & Infra Teams
- Uncover inefficiencies and misconfigurations across shared infrastructure
- Turn insights into scoped, high-impact projects mapped to the right owners
- Enforce scheduling, rightsizing, and housekeeping policies with measurable results
Product & Application Teams
- Understand the cost and footprint of owned services
- Convert code-adjacent cost issues into fixable, scoped projects
- Build with cost in mind and see the impact of optimizations over time
FinOps & CloudOps Leads
- Identify top savings by service, team, and environment
- Assign opportunities as scoped, trackable engineering work
- Auto-track project progress and realized savings in dashboards
What Makes Cloud ex Machina Different
Other tools highlight costs. CloudExMachina turns them into projects, owners, and outcomes.
Opportunity to Outcome
Every savings insight becomes a scoped project, assigned, tracked, and tied to real impact
Operational by Default
Fixes come with clear ownership, ROI, and implementation steps
Integrated Into Engineering Workflows
Recommendations show up where work happens, CI, PRs, and tickets
No Finger-Pointing, No Dashboard Hopping
Every issue is mapped, actionable, and visible from detection to resolution
