AI Analysis

The Take

It scans AWS for idle EC2/EBS/S3 artifacts and compares your month-to-date spend to the same window last month so you can spot anomalies fast. Rich terminal tables + structured JSON output and MFA-role support make it easy to drop into CI/CD or FinOps workflows, but the feature set overlaps heavily with existing tools like Cloud Custodian and Trusted Advisor.

Target Audience

DevOps engineers, SREs, FinOps practitioners, cloud engineers, and site reliability/operations teams

CleanCloud – 20 rules to find what's costing you money in AWS and Azure

This is the kind of tool you run in CI to block cost regressions: read-only scans, per-finding evidence and LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH confidence levels, plus an exit code you can fail builds on (--fail-on-confidence HIGH). The project deliberately avoids phone-home telemetry and destructive actions, which makes it attractive for regulated environments, though it’s narrowly focused (AWS + Azure only, 20 conservative rules) rather than aiming to be a full-cost-management suite.
