# Cloud Cost Optimization

Find out where the cloud bill is going and shrink it

## What this does

The cloud bill keeps growing and nobody can say exactly why. This goes through your spending across the major providers and reduces it: sizing resources to what they actually need, tagging so costs are attributable, using reserved capacity, and analyzing where money goes. Reach for it when the bill needs to come down or somebody needs it explained.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Cut a cloud bill
- Right-size over-provisioned resources
- Work out what infrastructure is costing

## Questions

### Is Cloud Cost Optimization safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Cloud Cost Optimization and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit ece811f23310, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/cost-optimization.
