What it does

Cloud cost tools tell you what to cut, then leave the work to you. CloudKnife handles it from A to Z. AI agents learn what every Azure resource is, how it’s really used and what it’s allowed to become. A deterministic core checks every recommendation against hard rules, so your SAP VM only gets SAP-certified options. You approve, CloudKnife executes. Your cloud stays lean and your team gets its time back for innovation.

CloudKnife is the FinOps 3.0 platform that measures what your apps actually need on Azure and trims everything else. Evidence first, your approval always.

Most clouds run oversized, on guesswork, and nobody has time to clean up. CloudKnife measures what your apps actually need and trims everything else. Catch drift early.

While optimizing production costs can be complex, reducing non-production costs should be a straightforward case of shutting down resources when they’re not in use. However, most companies lack an elegant solution for this. The solution: CloudPal - A downtime scheduler for non-production…

  • I built a service to help companies reduce AWS spend by 50%2022 · usage.ai · ▲123

    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.
