Cloud cost optimization automation scripts/tools

Why Choose This Project

  • As cloud adoption grows, unoptimized resource usage leads to high costs.

  • Manually monitoring cloud bills and shutting down idle resources is inefficient.

  • This project provides automated scripts and tools to analyze, optimize, and reduce cloud expenses in AWS, Azure, or GCP.

  • Helps companies save money, enforce policies, and improve cloud governance.

What You Get

  • A cloud cost optimization toolkit with automation scripts.

  • Scheduled jobs that analyze usage and shut down or resize idle resources.

  • Reports and dashboards with insights on cost-saving opportunities.

  • Alerts when spending crosses thresholds.

Key Features

Feature Description
Idle Resource Detection Identifies unused VMs, storage volumes, and orphaned snapshots.
Auto-Shutdown & Scheduling Automatically stops non-production servers outside working hours.
Right-Sizing Recommendations Suggests resizing underutilized instances (CPU/RAM).
Storage Optimization Finds unused disks, old snapshots, and moves cold data to cheaper tiers.
Cost Reports & Alerts Generates daily/weekly cost reports and alerts when budget thresholds exceed.
Multi-Cloud Support Works across AWS, Azure, GCP using SDKs/APIs.

Technology Stack

Automation Layer

  • Python / Node.js scripts (Boto3 for AWS, Azure SDK, Google Cloud SDK).

  • Terraform or Pulumi (optional for infra cleanup).

Cloud APIs Used

  • AWS Cost Explorer API, AWS CloudWatch, AWS Trusted Advisor.

  • Azure Cost Management + Advisor APIs.

  • GCP Billing & Recommender API.

Storage & Reporting

  • Amazon S3 / Azure Blob / GCP Storage for logs & reports.

  • CloudWatch / Stackdriver / Azure Monitor for alerts.

Visualization

  • Grafana / PowerBI / Cloud-native dashboards for cost insights.

Workflow

  1. Data Collection

    • Scripts query cloud billing APIs (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Mgmt, GCP Billing).

  2. Analysis

    • Identify idle/underutilized resources.

    • Match resource usage with pricing models.

  3. Optimization Actions

    • Auto-stop/terminate idle instances.

    • Move unused storage to cheaper classes (e.g., S3 → Glacier).

    • Suggest instance resizing.

  4. Reporting & Alerts

    • Generate PDF/Excel/JSON reports of cost savings.

    • Send alerts via Slack/Email/SMS when budgets exceed.

  5. Continuous Execution

    • Cron jobs / AWS Lambda / Azure Functions / GCP Cloud Functions run scripts periodically.

Main Modules

  1. Resource Usage Scanner – Finds idle compute/storage resources.

  2. Optimization Engine – Takes actions (stop, resize, delete, archive).

  3. Cost Report Generator – Creates daily/weekly usage and savings reports.

  4. Budget Alerts Module – Sends threshold alerts.

  5. Visualization Dashboard – Displays trends and optimizations.

Security Features

  • Read-only API roles for analysis (restricted execution roles for optimization).

  • Encryption of reports/logs stored in cloud storage.

  • Secure credentials with AWS Secrets Manager / Azure Key Vault / GCP Secret Manager.

  • Audit logging of all optimization actions for compliance.
