Any company that has migrated to the cloud understands the importance of optimizing costs in AWS. However, few take the next step toward more efficient cost management. Manually reviewing resources, identifying inefficiencies, and applying adjustments takes time and technical knowledge. But what if the whole process of saving could be simplified through automation?
The good news is: it’s possible. Thanks to Cloud-Trim, you can now turn the data it provides into informed decisions to reduce your AWS bill effortlessly.
From Report to Savings: Audit in Action
Cloud-Trim performs analyses of your AWS environment. These audits are free, simple, and provide real-time insights. Based on these reports, teams can establish rules and workflows that can be automated using external tools or internal policies. In other words, once cost-saving opportunities are identified, you can integrate those recommendations into shutdown scripts, DevOps processes, or cost control systems that execute actions automatically.
For example:
-
Detect inactive instances that should be shut down and link this to automated scripts using Lambda or AWS Systems Manager.
-
Identify unused EBS volumes and automate their removal with scheduled cleanup policies.
-
Analyze spending trends and configure automatic alerts in CloudWatch or AWS Budgets to respond to unusual spikes.
By using the free Cloud-Trim platform, you can quickly identify improvement opportunities. Cloud-Trim acts as the ideal starting point to safely and efficiently trigger automation.
