Cost and waste

Stop paying for what you don't use.

Zaysa scans your clouds for waste, puts a dollar amount on every item, lets you clean it up, and warns you before the bill surprises you.

Waste, in dollars

Every finding says what it is, why it is waste and what it costs each month. Track findings over time by category and account.

  • Stopped instances still paying for disks and IP addresses
  • Unattached volumes and unassociated IP addresses
  • Idle or stopped databases, load balancers with no healthy targets
  • Snapshots older than 90 days
EXAMPLE
Compute 63%
Databases 15%
Storage 17%
Network 5%
