Cost Analysis and Optimization

Cost Analysis and Optimization helps identify cloud spend opportunities and, when configured, propose reviewable changes.

What it does

  • Reviews cost-related signals from connected cloud accounts and agent-accessible context.
  • Summarizes top opportunities in the AI Assistant.
  • Can propose pull-request based changes when VCS access is configured.

Requirements

  • Connected cloud account.
  • DevOps Genie Agent deployed and live.
  • Cloud billing or cost permissions appropriate for your provider and organization policy.
  • VCS access if you want pull requests for recommended changes.

Example prompt

Analyze the last 30 days of cloud spend and show the top savings opportunities.

Review expectations

Cost recommendations should be reviewed with the owning team. Changes that affect capacity, storage lifecycle, or resource retention should go through your normal engineering and finance approval process.

Troubleshooting

If recommendations are missing, confirm billing data is available in your cloud provider and that the agent has the required read access. If PR creation is missing, review Configure VCS Access.
