OpsNow FinOps Plus automatically detects underutilized or inactive cloud resources (Idle Resources) across multi-cloud environments.
This feature helps organizations eliminate unnecessary cloud spending by identifying resources that consistently show low usage over a defined period.
✅ Key Analysis Metrics
- Average CPU utilization
- Network I/O activity
- Disk I/O activity
If these metrics remain below the defined threshold continuously, the resource is flagged as idle and is recommended as a cost optimization target.
⚙️ Default Analysis Conditions (Example)
- Analysis window: Default is the past 30 days
- Threshold example:
- Average CPU utilization below 1%
- Minimal or no Network/Disk activity
- Vendor-specific logic:
- Detection criteria are automatically tailored to AWS, Azure, and GCP’s respective performance metric structures.
🛠️ Customizable Settings
- Users can configure custom thresholds and analysis periods to match internal policies.
- Resources with specific tags (Key/Value) can be excluded from idle analysis, allowing operationally critical instances to be preserved.
📌 Idle resource detection is a proactive feature that helps prevent unnecessary costs,
while improving infrastructure efficiency and cloud governance.
