Products that do what AWS Cost-savings tool – open-source does
This open-source project helps you save money in ways other than RIs or Savings Plans. It inspects AWS metrics and usage data to find underutilized and unused resources, then visually gives an option to delete, scale down, or optimize those resources. For each resource, it displays the relevant metrics so you can determine whether or not it's truly unused/underused/ It also includes opportunities to save money on different services by enabling native cost savings policies, like S3 retention policies. It runs totally on your computer as an open source project and doesn't send…

Hey HN: I'm Kaveh, the founder of Usage (https://www.usage.ai/) We help companies drive down AWS costs. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. Stakeholders, especially engineers, are required to spend unnecessary time manually finding underutilized or overly expensive EC2s. We believe the optimization process should be done automatically through a series of sophisticated algorithms. At the moment, there are over 70,000 AWS EC2 prices - doing that manually just won't scale at most organizations. My background is in software engineering. Previous to founding Usage, I…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS EC2 spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically,…

Hi everyone, I've been working on a side project over quarantine called Usage.ai and I finally feel comfortable enough to launch it. We're a service that plugs directly into AWS, automatically finds savings, and applies those savings at the press of a confirmation button all without ever needing to go to an AWS console. I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it! Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/2a6f1c8e4c214914a1cdd88c6fdec4ac Link: https://www.usage.ai/

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched a new free tool to help engineers understand their AWS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up end up becoming cloud accountants or end up forking over a big % of their AWS bill for a tool to understand costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how this new tool works: It's fully self-serve and…

Link: https://www.vantage.sh/features/per-resource-costs Hi HN, I'm Co-Founder and CEO of Vantage and we just made "Per-Resource Costs" available to everyone, including users in our free tier. Vantage will now show you the cost of each individual AWS resource (EC2 instance, RDS instance, S3 Bucket, SNS Topic, Lambda Function, etc). You can drill down into each resource to see subcategory costs so imagine seeing specific egress costs being tied to a specific Cloudfront distribution or EC2 instance. This works by Vantage ingesting and processing Cost and Usage Reports from…
