Find cloud waste.
Deliver remediation.
WasteLine scans your AWS environment for orphaned, idle, and overprovisioned resources, then generates prioritized findings with cost impact and ready-to-execute remediation artifacts. Results in minutes, not weeks.
For FinOps, platform engineering, and cloud infrastructure teams.

Every scan produces a prioritized findings table and a ranked remediation plan. Filterable, sortable, export-ready.
Cloud waste is visible.
Acting on it is not.
Most teams know waste exists. The gap is not detection. It is the effort required to validate findings, calculate impact, and build remediation artifacts that pass review.
- 1 Native recommendations are fragmented across services and accounts
- 2 Manual validation and cost estimation consumes engineering hours
- 3 Scripting remediation per finding is repetitive and error-prone
- 4 Low-value waste persists because it is tedious to address at scale
- 5 Leadership needs defensible numbers, not another dashboard

From scan to remediation in five steps
Each step produces artifacts your team can review, approve, and act on.
Detect
Scan for orphaned, idle, overprovisioned, commitment-mismatched, and schedule-blind resources.
wasteline scan
Quantify
Each finding includes estimated monthly cost impact from CloudWatch metrics and pricing data.
Prioritize
Findings ranked P1–P4 by cost impact, confidence, blast radius, and estimated effort.
Remediate
Pre-built AWS CLI scripts, Terraform snippets, and OpenOps approval workflows per finding.

18 rules across 5 waste categories
Each rule detects waste, estimates cost impact, and generates remediation artifacts.
Orphaned
EBS volumes, Elastic IPs, security groups, AMIs, snapshots, empty S3 buckets
Idle
EC2 instances, load balancers, CloudWatch log groups, NAT gateways
Overprovisioned
EC2 compute, EBS storage, RDS databases, S3 storage classes
Commitment gap
Reserved Instance utilization, Savings Plans coverage and utilization
Schedule blind
Non-production instances running 24/7 without cost-aware scheduling
Your data never leaves your account
WasteLine runs entirely inside your AWS environment. No SaaS backend, no shared state, no outbound calls.
40 API actions, all Get/List/Describe
No write calls. Enforced by AST analysis in CI and runtime SDK guards.
Zero outbound calls
No telemetry, no phone-home, no license server. Deploy in private subnets with existing NAT or VPC endpoints.
Results stay in your S3
Static dashboard reads a local JSON file. No server, no shared state, no cross-tenant exposure.
SHA-256 signed findings
Deterministic scans with manifest hash verification. Safe for CI/CD and change management.
Productized from enterprise FinOps delivery
WasteLine is not a generic scanner. It is built from patterns observed across real FinOps engagements, where teams need a defensible action plan, not another cost dashboard.
Every detection rule, prioritization model, and remediation template is designed to fit governance and approval workflows. The output is structured for teams that need to present findings to leadership and execute changes through established processes.
