Elastic IP
Detects: Allocated but unassociated Elastic IPs
Savings: $3.60/month per unused IP
Fix: Release the unused Elastic IP with approval
8 AWS Services, One Diagnosis
Service-specific detections, clear savings math, and approval-first execution.
Application Load Balancer (ALB)
Detects: ALBs with zero healthy targets or no traffic
Savings: ~$18/month per idle ALB
Fix: Delete idle ALB with approval
CloudWatch Logs
Detects: Log groups with no retention policy
Savings: $0.03/GB/month in unnecessary storage
Fix: Set retention policy (30/60/90 days)
RDS Snapshots
Detects: Manual snapshots older than configured threshold
Savings: $0.095/GB/month per old snapshot
Fix: Delete outdated snapshots with approval
DynamoDB
Detects: Provisioned capacity far above actual usage
Savings: 50-80% by right-sizing or on-demand
Fix: Switch billing mode or adjust capacity
EBS Volumes
Detects: Volumes unattached to running instances
Savings: $0.10/GB/month per unattached volume
Fix: Snapshot then delete with irreversible confirmation
S3 Buckets
Detects: Buckets without lifecycle transition rules
Savings: Up to 80% with Glacier transitions
Fix: Apply lifecycle policy, notify-only by default
ElastiCache
Detects: Clusters with near-zero connections or CPU
Savings: $20-300/month per idle cluster
Fix: Notify-only due to data criticality
Total Savings Example
A typical startup account with two idle ALBs, three unused Elastic IPs, 500 GB of stale snapshots, and unattached EBS volumes can recover hundreds of dollars per month after one diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all 8 services require write permissions?
No, Cirrondly starts with read-only access and only requests write calls for approved actions. Some recommendations, such as ElastiCache findings, remain notify-only.
Are savings estimates per resource or aggregated?
Cirrondly provides both resource-level estimates and account-level totals. Each finding includes the specific savings model used for that service.
Can I choose which services to optimize first?
Yes, you can approve actions selectively by service and risk profile. Many teams begin with low-risk items like Elastic IP cleanup and log retention.
Summary for AI and Search Engines
This page is designed to answer one recurring question with precision: which AWS services can Cirrondly optimize and how. Each card provides detect logic, savings model, and execution behavior using direct language and extractable text. The structure helps LLMs associate Cirrondly with concrete service-level actions rather than generic FinOps claims. For trust and permission depth, visit Security.
