OpsNow FinOps Plus – Resource Optimization is an automated optimization tool designed to reduce unnecessary cloud infrastructure costs.
Unlike simple resource listings, this menu delivers actionable savings insights by identifying inefficiencies and recommending concrete cost-saving actions.
✅ Key Feature Components
- Right Sizing Recommendations
- Classifies cloud resources into Idle, Downsize, Modernize, and Upsize categories based on CPU, memory, and network utilization
- Provides clear recommendations on optimized instance types along with estimated monthly savings
- Unused Resource Detection
- Automatically identifies unattached or inactive resources such as EBS volumes, Disks, Elastic IPs, and Load Balancers
- Helps declutter infrastructure and eliminate wasteful spending
- Custom Savings Criteria Settings
- Enables users to define their own thresholds for CPU, memory, and IOPS usage

- Exclusion Tag Management
- Allows certain critical or intentionally overprovisioned resources to be excluded from analysis using tags
- Maintains operational stability while focusing on cost-saving opportunities
📊 Optimization Impact
- Identifies underutilized or overprovisioned resources to significantly reduce cloud expenses
- Offers data-driven recommendations for optimal infrastructure performance
- Enables team- or business unit-level resource breakdown using tags, accounts, and regions
🎯 Ideal For
