OpsNow FinOps Plus automatically identifies unused cloud resources that are no longer in active use or have lost their associations.
This helps prevent unnecessary cloud spending and supports proactive cost optimization.
✅ Detection Criteria for Unused Resources
OpsNow evaluates resource-specific conditions across each cloud provider to determine unused status:
- EBS (AWS):
- Detached volumes not associated with any EC2 instance
- Elastic IP (AWS):
- Public IP addresses not currently assigned to any instance
- ELB (AWS):
- Load balancers with no backend instances registered
- Azure Disk:
- Disks attached to stopped or deallocated VMs
- GCP Persistent Disk:
- Disks not mounted to any Compute Engine instance
🔍 How Detection Works
- OpsNow regularly gathers resource metadata via cloud provider APIs.
- Resources that remain disconnected or unused for a defined period are flagged as Unused.
- Vendor-specific logic is automatically applied to ensure accurate classification across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
📌 Unused resources are often a hidden source of cloud waste.
By leveraging OpsNow’s detection engine, organizations can quickly identify and remove redundant assets, even across complex multi-cloud environments.
