Multi-Cloud Cost Analysis & Optimization
Optimize multi-cloud spending across AWS, Azure, and GCP
What You Can Do
You can upload billing data from AWS, Azure, and GCP to analyze spending patterns, identify cost anomalies, and get specific optimization recommendations tailored to your architecture. Claude will compare pricing across clouds, flag rightsizing opportunities, and calculate exact savings from reserved instances, commitment discounts, and service consolidations.
Features
Import and analyze cost data from AWS, Azure, and GCP in a unified view
Compare equivalent services across clouds with real pricing data
Automatically flag overprovisioned resources, unused services, and licensing inefficiencies
Get prioritized, actionable recommendations with estimated monthly and annual savings
Calculate ROI on RIs, compute commitments, and savings plans
Design department-level cost allocation strategies for multi-cloud environments
Analyze compute, storage, and database usage patterns to right-size underutilized resources
Model the financial impact of moving workloads between clouds
