Savings Opportunities

Find actionable ways to reduce cloud spending. Noros analyzes your cost and usage data to identify areas where you may be overspending and surfaces opportunities to optimize.

What Noros Can Identify

Commitment Coverage Gaps

Noros analyzes your on-demand vs. reserved vs. savings plan spend to identify where additional commitments could reduce costs:

• "What percentage of my compute is on-demand vs. reserved?"

• "Where do I have commitment coverage gaps?"

• "How much could I save with better savings plan coverage?"

High-Cost Services and Resources

Noros can pinpoint the services and resources driving your costs, helping you identify candidates for optimization:

• "What are my most expensive resources?"

• "Which services have the highest cost growth?"

• "Show me resources that cost more than $100/day"

Spending Patterns and Waste

By analyzing your spending trends, Noros can surface patterns that suggest waste or inefficiency:

• "Are there any services I'm paying for but not actively using?"

• "What are my top savings opportunities?"

• "How can I reduce my EC2 costs?"

Purchase Type Optimization

Noros breaks down your spend by purchase type to show where on-demand pricing is costing you more than it needs to:

• "Break down my costs by on-demand vs. reserved vs. savings plans"

• "What's my spot instance usage?"

• "Which services would benefit most from reserved pricing?"
