It doesn't start with bad decisions. It starts with caution.
An extra-large instance "just for now." A production environment provisioned for future scale. A dev cluster that never got cleaned up.
Over time, these "safe" choices quietly become budget killers—and no one notices until the cloud bill lands on someone's desk.
By then, it's too late to fix.
The problem isn't that over-provisioning happens. It's that most teams don't catch it until they're being asked to explain it.
The Delayed Reaction:
By the time the finance team sends that dreaded cost breakdown, the VM's been running idle for weeks.
The environment's already in its fourth billing cycle. And the cleanup? Manual. Political. Time-consuming.
That's exactly why we built Cloudshot's Over-Provisioning Detector— to stop cloud waste before it becomes a headline.
It's not just about showing usage data. It's about connecting the dots between what you provisioned, what's actually being used, and who owns the excess.
Here's how it works:
Live infrastructure map with usage overlays
Cloudshot renders your full infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. But it doesn't just show what's deployed—it overlays each resource with real-time usage metrics. That means you can visually spot over-provisioned resources without combing through reports.
Smart detection of oversized resources
Our engine monitors CPU, memory, and storage patterns over time. If a resource falls below your usage threshold, Cloudshot flags it automatically. It even highlights how much you could save by downsizing or decommissioning.
Breakdown by team, account, and region
No more finger-pointing or spreadsheet wars. Cloudshot tags and groups every resource by team, project, and cloud account—so when over-provisioning shows up, you know exactly who it belongs to.
Real-time alerts with optimization insights
Cloudshot doesn't wait for month-end reports. As soon as inefficient provisioning is detected, you get an alert—with actionable suggestions for right-sizing. No guesswork. No delay.
Customer Testimonial
"We didn't even realize how much infra we were over-provisioning until Cloudshot showed it to us—live, in the dashboard."
They cut 20% of their compute cost in the first 30 days. And it wasn't by working harder—it was by seeing the problem earlier.
The bottom line?
You don't need to stop teams from moving fast. You just need to stop waste from sneaking in while they do.
Cloudshot helps you do that—automatically.
