Your Cloud Bill Isn’t a Mystery—Cloudshot Makes It Obvious

 Your Cloud Bill Isn’t a Mystery—Cloudshot Makes It Obvious

A small SaaS team just crossed 80 customers.
But their AWS bill? Over $9,000/month.

Not because of scale.
But because of invisible waste.

Behind the scenes:

  • 14 microservices in 3 regions

  • Clustered Kubernetes

  • Individual staging for each squad

  • And no cost ownership at all

The result? Overbuilt, overscaled, and totally unmanaged infrastructure.

When finance asked for answers, DevOps had none:

  • Why were idle environments still on?

  • Why was money leaking from unused resources?

  • Who was supposed to clean it up?

That’s when Cloudshot stepped in.

Cloudshot Reveals What Others Miss

In under an hour:

✅ $5,800/month of silent waste uncovered
Cloudshot identified detached volumes, unused instances, and oversized machines.

✅ 3 dead environments flagged
No code commits. No logs. No users. No reason to exist.

✅ Cost attribution re-established
With ownership tagging and visual maps, accountability was back in the picture.

By the end of the quarter:

  • AWS spend fell by 85%

  • Deployment pipelines got leaner

  • Devs focused on features—not cleanup

The Common Problem? Complexity Without Visibility

It happens everywhere:

  • Teams building ahead of demand

  • Infra left untouched for weeks

  • DevOps scrambling without insight

  • Budgets drained by ghost resources

Cloudshot solves this not with manual work—but with automated, embedded visibility.

What You Get with Cloudshot:

✅ Usage overlays that tell you what’s real
✅ Alerts before cloud waste accumulates
✅ Team dashboards that clarify who owns what
✅ One-click cleanup and resizing options

🚫 Stop paying for infrastructure that nobody uses.
✅ Start with Cloudshot today and stop the leak.

From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Forecasting Cloud Costs With Accuracy

Image
  From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Forecasting Cloud Costs With Accuracy Cloud budgets keep rising—but visibility doesn’t. If you’re still forecasting with last month’s invoice and manual Excel sheets, you’re not forecasting. You’re reacting. And by the time those costs surface in your next quarterly review, it’s already too late. Why Forecasting Is Broken in the Cloud Era The pace of cloud changes far exceeds traditional planning tools. CFOs want precision—but finance teams lack the context, and engineering teams lack forecasting tools. Usage Fluctuates by the Hour Engineers scale infrastructure for projects and forget teardown. Forecasts miss these swings entirely. No Connection Between Spend and Purpose Finance sees a jump in AWS bills, but they don’t know it’s due to a temporary initiative—like a product relaunch. Seasonal and Dev Cycle Patterns Get Ignored Static models can’t predict expected bursts tied to promotions or quarter ends. Reactive Planning Drains ...

Prevent Audit Failures with Visual Cloud Policy Mapping

Image
  Prevent Audit Failures with Visual Cloud Policy Mapping The countdown begins—five days to your next compliance audit. And suddenly your Slack is flooded: “Do our IAM roles reflect prod accurately?” “Who owns access to that third-party integration?” “Did anyone update the audit logs?” Instead of focusing on strategic initiatives, engineers are digging through outdated permissions, juggling spreadsheets, and hoping no gaps surface. Visibility Gaps, Not Tool Gaps, Cause Audit Issues Most compliance failures aren’t due to negligence—they’re due to incomplete visibility. SaaS teams think they’re secure until auditors demand: Proof of Principle of Least Privilege A consistent policy structure across environments Evidence that access hasn’t drifted And that’s where it breaks. Zombie Permissions Old accounts that never got cleaned up, but still retain critical access. Manual Reviews That Miss Policy Sprawl PDFs can’t catch when a staging policy quietly overr...
