# CloudSteer

> CloudSteer is an AI-native cost optimization platform for AWS. It finds idle and oversized resources, detects cost anomalies, automates stop/start schedules, and lets an AI assistant act on your account with your confirmation.

CloudSteer is a SaaS product at https://cloudsteer.io. Pricing is a flat monthly fee
(Starter $5, Professional $10, Team $30) and is never a percentage of AWS spend.
Connection to AWS uses a read-only cross-account IAM role; every write action
requires explicit user confirmation.

## Frequently asked questions
### Which AWS services does CloudSteer support?
We analyze 30+ AWS services, including EC2, RDS, EBS, Elastic IPs, S3, NAT Gateways, Load Balancers, Lambda, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, ECS/Fargate, EKS, SageMaker, Bedrock, GPU instances, Redshift, OpenSearch, CloudFront, API Gateway, Step Functions, Kinesis, and EFS.

### Do you support EKS and ECS cost optimization?
Yes. The ECS/Kubernetes screen analyzes ECS clusters, services, tasks, and container instances, plus EKS clusters, node groups, and namespace-level workloads. Optimizations include CPU/memory rightsizing, autoscaling adjustments, and idle workload cleanup.

### Can I schedule EC2 instances to stop at night and on weekends?
You can schedule EC2 start/stop and RDS pause/resume for nights, weekends, and holidays using cron expressions and tag-based selection. This typically saves 60%+ on non-production workloads.

### How does the AI anomaly detection work?
The AI anomaly scan detects cost spikes and newly created resources, then correlates them with CloudTrail to tell you who created what and the exact cost impact. Findings appear in an AI-generated report on your dashboard and can be sent via email and Slack.

### Is it safe to connect my AWS account?
You connect with a cross-account IAM role, so there are no keys to copy out of your account or rotate. It is read-only by default, meaning you see every saving before granting any write access, and every write action is confirmed by you. Login is Auth0-backed with SSO/SAML on Team plans.

### How much does CloudSteer cost?
Pricing is a flat monthly fee, never a percentage of your AWS spend: Starter $5/mo (up to 2 users), Professional $10/mo (up to 4 users), and Team $30/mo (up to 15 users). There is a 14-day free trial with no charges upfront and no setup fees.

### Which idle resources does CloudSteer detect?
The Resource Explorer detects idle EC2/RDS (CPU under 5%), unattached EBS volumes, unassociated Elastic IPs, and S3 lifecycle gaps over a 14-day window, with rightsizing recommendations you can act on directly.

### Does CloudSteer support Azure or GCP?
CloudSteer is AWS-only today. Azure, GCP, and other clouds are not yet supported.

## Capabilities
- CloudSteer is an AI-native cost optimization platform for AWS. It finds idle and oversized resources, detects cost anomalies, automates stop/start schedules, and lets an AI assistant act on your account with your confirmation.

- Yes. The ECS/Kubernetes screen analyzes ECS clusters, services, tasks, and container instances, plus EKS clusters, node groups, and namespace-level workloads. Optimizations include CPU/memory rightsizing, autoscaling adjustments, and idle workload cleanup.
- The AI/ML Insights screen covers GPU EC2 instances (g4/g5/p3/p4/inf/trn families), EKS GPU nodes, SageMaker endpoints and notebooks, and Bedrock provisioned throughput. It recommends GPU rightsizing, spot migration, idle-GPU shutdown, and SageMaker notebook auto-shutoff.
- The AI anomaly scan detects cost spikes and newly created resources, then correlates them with CloudTrail to tell you who created what and the exact cost impact. Findings appear in an AI-generated report on your dashboard and can be sent via email and Slack.
- CloudSteer AI is built into every screen. Ask questions in plain English ("which instances should I stop?") and it can stop/start instances, add tags, and act on your account. Every write action requires your confirmation first.
- You can schedule EC2 start/stop and RDS pause/resume for nights, weekends, and holidays using cron expressions and tag-based selection. This typically saves 60%+ on non-production workloads.
- Cost allocation tracks spend by team, project, or environment using AWS cost allocation tags. You can set budget thresholds per tag with alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100%, delivered via email and Slack.
- The Resource Explorer detects idle EC2/RDS (CPU under 5%), unattached EBS volumes, unassociated Elastic IPs, and S3 lifecycle gaps over a 14-day window, with rightsizing recommendations you can act on directly.
