Can I detect duplicate instances or idle cloud resources in OpsNow FinOps Plus?

Yes. OpsNow FinOps Plus allows users to monitor AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud resources through vendor-specific views,
enabling easy identification of potentially duplicated or idle resources based on key attributes such as name, tag, type, and status.

✅ Vendor-Separated Resource Views with Attribute-Based Comparison

Each cloud vendor (AWS, Azure, GCP) provides a dedicated view, where resources can be filtered or sorted based on:

  • Name: Spot servers with similar naming conventions (e.g., web-01, web-02)
  • Tag: Group resources by project, owner, or environment to detect redundancy
  • Type: Identify over-provisioned or repeatedly used instance types (e.g., t3.medium)
  • Launch Time: Discover multiple resources created simultaneously

✅ Detecting Idle Resources by Status

OpsNow enables quick identification of inactive resources using the Status column:

  • AWS: stopped
  • Azure: deallocated
  • GCP: TERMINATED

By applying filters, users can isolate idle instances and take action to avoid unnecessary cloud spend.

📌 Summary
While OpsNow separates views by cloud vendor, it offers a structured attribute-based analysis that helps users
efficiently detect redundant infrastructure and unused assets within each environment.
This approach supports smart resource optimization and cost control across multi-cloud operations.
