Hi HN, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN7RNVo9nc4 (The text below is based upon the linked video above) I'm Co-Founder & CEO of Vantage: a cloud cost observability platform. Our team put together a quick video showing a new feature we launched that I think this community may be interested in: Network Flow Reports. This gives you the ability to see flows normalized by cost instead of usage for AWS resources. Knowing that AWS has different rates depending on the source and destination of network traffic, we did the work of ingesting VPC Flow Logs and cross-referencing with the…

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,…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched on Hacker News for the first time early last year, and we've made a lot of progress since then. We've saved tens of millions of dollars for companies, and we are even more excited to announce the launch of a new product: insured reservations for RDS! We worked closely with AWS on this feature and are excited to finally make it generally available. We help companies drive down AWS EC2 & RDS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs…

We've all been there: You find an unused NAT Gateway costing $45/mo. You delete it in the AWS console to stop the billing immediately. But the next time you run terraform plan, it fails because of state drift. Now you have to manually run terraform state rm or import it back to fix the drift. It's tedious, so often we just leave the waste running. I built CloudSlash to automate the cleanup and the state surgery. It’s written in Go (using BubbleTea for the TUI) and solves two engineering problems: 1. Finding "hollow" resources (the graph). Most cost tools just check CloudWatch metrics…

Hey folks, I’m Hassan, one of the co-founders of Infracost (https://www.infracost.io). Infracost helps engineers see and reduce the cloud cost of each infrastructure change before they merge their code. The way Infracost works is we gather pricing data from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. What we call a ‘Pricing Service’, which now holds around 9 million live price points (!!). Then we map these prices to infrastructure code. Once the mapping is done, it enables us to show the cost impact of a code change before it is merged, directly in GitHub, GitLab etc.…

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…

Hi HN community, [Direct Link: www.usage.ai] I’m Kaveh, founder and CEO of Usage, and am excited to show you Usage, an app that helps you slash your AWS EC2 bill by 50% in ~5min by trading reservations. As of today, Usage is in General Availability and any AWS user can use it. It works by creating a limited-access IAM role (ReadOnly + Ability to Manage Reservations) into your AWS account(s). The AWS console interface has made it hard for companies to optimize their AWS spend. After years of working for different companies that use AWS, I still find it difficult to understand how much money…

Hello HN! Daniele, Ilia, and Thomas here to share Cloudthread’s new Cost Savings Hub to help companies surface and eliminate cloud waste. We’re putting our money where our mouth is: for the next two weeks, find over $500 in monthly AWS savings with Cloudthread’s Savings Hub or we’ll give you a $100 Amazon Gift Card. More context: https://www.cloudthread.io/aws-save-or-get-paid Most cloud infrastructure managers know there’s waste in their cloud environment but it’s challenging and time consuming to 1) surface all the waste, 2) convert those opportunities into actualized…

OpenCost is an open source implementation for Kubernetes cost monitoring and now cloud cost monitoring for AWS, Azure, and GCP. The project makes all of this data accessible via an API and user interface. While discussing the idea of running OpenCost on platforms besides Kubernetes we realized that with this new Cloud Costs feature there are users who want API access to their cloud billing data without needing to run on Kubernetes. I opened the Issue OpenCost without Kubernetes #2268 and as luck would have it, we had our internal Hackathon last week. If you're not familiar with OpenCost,…

Hey HN! I'm Mike, based in Stockholm/Sweden and I'm the founder of Zero Waste Cloud (https://zerowastecloud.io) - a tool that scans AWS and GCP infrastructure to find cost optimization opportunities while calculating the environmental impact. Almost all businesses can save 20-40% of their cloud costs using this tool (sources at bottom) TLDR: Sign up -> Connect your AWS/GCP -> Scan -> Save 20-40% of your cloud spend. My backstory: I've been a CISO and in IT management for a long time and always been frustrated by how much waste I'd find in every environment - idle EC2…
