Cloud Waste Scanner

What it does

Local-first cloud cost optimization software that finds idle compute, orphan storage, and unused network resources across 47 providers, with savings and ESG reporting.

Run one local, read-only AWS scan and find the first cloud resources worth reviewing before your next bill.

A first scan produces a short evidence list with resource type, owner hints, usage signals, estimated savings, and exportable proof for cleanup review. The practical value is speed: instead of digging through every provider console, you can run one narrow scan and see which idle VMs, unattached disks, stale snapshots, unused IPs, or load…from cloud-waste-scanner.com

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
