"Hidden Cloud Waste Is Silently Draining Your Budget"

One of our clients was shocked to see a 34% billing spike across AWS and Azure. No new projects. No infra changes. Just… hidden waste.

In multi-cloud environments, costs creep in through forgotten resources, idle infrastructure, and scattered environments. What starts as a temporary test VM or quick-scaling solution often becomes a permanent cost—hidden beneath layers of complex infrastructure and legacy accounts.

The Real Problem: Hidden Cloud Waste

Zombie Resources

Silently running workloads long after teams moved on, including compute instances from QA and staging.

Orphaned Resources

Persistent storage volumes and IPs remained active even after parent workloads were terminated.

Overprovisioned Compute

Resources stayed at full power even when workloads dropped significantly.

How Cloudshot Fixes It

Cloudshot eliminates the guesswork by replacing dashboards with a dynamic visual experience. It's more than analytics—it's live awareness of your entire cloud footprint.
