Cloud infrastructure has revolutionized how companies scale, innovate, and deploy services. But that same power comes with hidden complexity—and hidden cost. When multiple teams spin up resources across AWS, Azure, and GCP, the result is often a sprawl of unused assets, missed optimization opportunities, and a lack of centralized visibility.
This problem becomes even more dangerous as businesses grow. More environments, more projects, and more stakeholders lead to increased fragmentation. Without proper tools, even the most experienced CTOs and CFOs are forced to make decisions with incomplete or outdated data.
The Cost of Invisible Cloud Sprawl
Across dozens of SaaS companies and enterprise tech teams, we've repeatedly encountered the same issues:
- Orphaned VMs that were never decommissioned after POCs or testing
- Snapshots that haven't been used or referenced in months—but are still being charged
- Containers left running long after teams have moved on to other builds
- Load balancers actively routing nothing, yet still billed every hour
These aren't occasional mistakes. They're signs of a deeper operational blind spot—one where infrastructure keeps growing, but accountability gets lost in the shuffle.
When cloud visibility is limited to static dashboards or buried billing data, waste goes undetected and accountability becomes impossible.
Traditional cloud monitoring tools were never designed to solve this. They show resource lists, not relationships. They report usage, but not context. And they lack the real-time, visual insight required to make cost-saving decisions fast.
Cloudshot Solves the Visibility Problem
Cloudshot was designed from the ground up to eliminate these blind spots. Instead of isolated graphs or alerts, it provides a living, breathing map of your cloud infrastructure.
Real-time detection of idle resources
Continuously monitors every instance, volume, container, and function across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Flags idle or unutilized resources instantly.
Clear visuals to identify sprawl
Panoramic view of every resource, environment, and region. Zoom in on specific microservices or view your entire multi-cloud footprint.
Cost heatmaps
Overlays cost data directly onto your visual map. Hotspots are highlighted automatically to identify which areas are bleeding budget.
Customer Proof: Results in the First Week
"One of our fintech clients uncovered over $18,000 in recurring monthly waste within their first week on Cloudshot. Before us, they relied on monthly billing exports and manual audits. After Cloudshot, they had a live dashboard where both DevOps and Finance could see cost anomalies the moment they emerged."
What used to take 3 weeks of reconciliation now takes 3 minutes. That's the power of shared visibility.
Cloudshot aligns technical and business stakeholders with a single, reliable source of truth. Engineers don't waste time tracking down rogue resources. CFOs don't need to chase down teams to explain charges. Everyone operates from the same live view.
Take Control of Your Cloud Spending
Cloudshot is more than a cost optimization tool—it's a real-time command center for your multi-cloud operations. It helps you:
- Eliminate waste before it hits your invoice
- Spot misconfigurations before they cause compliance risks
- Give finance, engineering, and leadership teams the same unified understanding
It's time to stop operating blind. The cost of cloud sprawl is too high, and the margin for error is shrinking.
