Modernization, Security & Cost Intelligence (AI)

Real-time cloud spend monitoring with automated savings recommendations.

Modernization, Security & Cost Intelligence (AI)

Monitor usage and costs in real time across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Identify waste, automate savings recommendations, and enforce governed cost controls with approval workflows.

What it monitors

  • Compute — idle EC2/VMs, oversized instances, Spot opportunity identification
  • Storage — unused EBS volumes, old snapshots, S3 intelligent tiering opportunities
  • Databases — idle RDS instances, oversized Multi-AZ deployments
  • Networking — unused Elastic IPs, idle NAT Gateways, data transfer costs
  • Reservations — RI/Savings Plan coverage gaps and expiry alerts
  • Licenses — BYOL vs. license-included cost comparison

Savings recommendations

Recommendations are ranked by monthly savings potential and include:

Recommendation typeExample
Right-sizingDownsize m5.4xlargem5.2xlarge (same workload, 50% cheaper)
Idle resource termination14 EC2 instances with <2% CPU for 30+ days
Reservation purchase12-month RI for baseline RDS usage saves $1,840/mo
Storage tier changeMove 4.2 TB S3 data to Intelligent-Tiering saves $310/mo
Spot migrationMigrate dev/test fleet to Spot saves $2,100/mo

Approval workflows

Recommendations require approval before action:

  1. QuickCloud surfaces the recommendation with a projected savings and risk score
  2. Your team reviews and approves or dismisses
  3. Approved actions are executed automatically and logged
  4. A post-action report confirms actual vs. projected savings

Approval can be configured per team, per recommendation type, or per savings threshold.

Budgets and alerts

Set budgets at any level — account, team, project tag, or service — and receive alerts when spend approaches or exceeds thresholds. Alert destinations: email, Slack, PagerDuty.

Tagging enforcement

Untagged resources are flagged and can be auto-tagged or blocked from creation via policy. Required tags are configurable (e.g. env, team, cost-center).
