AWS EC2 is usually the largest line item on the AWS bill. Most teams pay 25-40% more than necessary because instance families, sizes and on/off schedules are not revisited after launch. TurboFinOps surfaces every EC2 oversize, idle and unattached state, then routes the fix through an approval gate.
Workflow
Connect read-only IAM role; TurboFinOps inventories every EC2 instance, AMI, EBS volume and elastic IP across all regions.
Findings flag idle, oversized, unattached and unscheduled resources with estimated monthly savings.
Each remediation passes conflict guard (IaC ownership tag, freeze window, change ticket) before any cloud API call.
Savings receipts at day 7, day 14 and day 30 confirm the bill actually dropped.
FAQ
No initially. The Free tier is read-only and surfaces findings. Write access is requested only when a fix is approved and the conflict guard passes.
Each candidate ships with p50 / p95 CPU and memory observations plus the recommended target family, so engineers see why a fix is suggested before approving it.
IaC ownership tags are part of the conflict guard. If a resource is Terraform-managed, the remediation runs as a PR against the IaC repo instead of a live API call.
