Cut Cloud Waste. Increase Confidence. Run Leaner Infrastructure.

Nimbus Optimized helps you find and fix hidden spend across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle — without adding another heavy platform to your stack.

Audit-First
Actionable Recommendations
No Fluff

No dashboards to learn. No noisy alerts. Just clear savings and a concrete plan.

Sample Cloud Spend Snapshot

Based on common patterns: idle services, over-provisioned compute, and unused premium tiers.
Idle Kubernetes Nodes

Nimbus audits surface these patterns quickly and turn them into concrete savings.
Built for modern stacks

Works across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes-based workloads.

What Nimbus Does

Turn noisy cloud bills into a clear savings roadmap.

Nimbus Optimized is an audit-first FinOps service. We ingest your billing data, find real waste, and give you a prioritized action plan — without forcing you into another all-in-one platform.

🔍

1. Find What’s Wasted

Idle resources, abandoned test environments, over-sized instances, zombie volumes — we surface the spend that adds zero value but quietly drains your budget.

🧭

2. Explain Why It’s There

We tie costs back to teams, features, and services. You’ll see exactly how architecture decisions, growth experiments, and defaults turned into spend.

3. Deliver Fixes You Can Apply

Recommendations are specific, prioritized, and mapped to effort vs. impact — so your teams know exactly what to change first.

Common Waste Patterns

Cost leaks we see in nearly every environment.

If your cloud bill feels higher than it should be, it’s usually not one thing — it’s a stack of small leaks that accumulated over months or years.

Over-provisioned compute and instances running far below their CPU and memory targets.
Abandoned test and staging environments left running after launches or experiments.
Orphaned volumes, snapshots, and load balancers from previous deployments.
Premium storage tiers used for cold or rarely accessed data.
Misconfigured autoscaling that scales up but rarely scales back down.
Idle Kubernetes nodes and pods reserved for traffic patterns that no longer exist.
Duplicate pipelines and services created during migrations or refactors.
Untagged or inconsistently tagged resources that make cost ownership impossible.
If your cloud bill feels unpredictable, it’s because the waste is invisible. Nimbus makes it obvious — and gives you a plan to fix it.
The Nimbus Audit

A fast, focused FinOps audit designed for clarity.

No endless dashboards. No generic “best practices” report. Just a clear view of where money is leaking today and what to do about it.

What you get

  • Breakdown of cloud spend by service, environment, and (where possible) team or feature.
  • Identified waste hotspots ranked by savings potential.
  • Architecture and configuration issues contributing to overspend.
  • Concrete recommendations with estimated savings ranges.
  • A prioritized roadmap: “Fix these first, these next.”
  • Optional follow-up to support your teams during implementation.
Timeline: typically 2–7 business days Engagement: remote-friendly Focus: AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Kubernetes

How it works

Nimbus keeps the process simple so your teams can stay focused on building:

  • 1. Share billing exports or read-only access to your cost tools.
  • 2. We analyze patterns in spend, usage, and architecture.
  • 3. We identify waste and quantify potential savings.
  • 4. You receive a report and roadmap built for action.
  • 5. Optional: we support implementation and track results.

The goal is simple: give you the clarity and confidence to make cloud decisions without guessing.

Why Nimbus

From frustration to clarity — built by an engineer who lived the problem.

I started Nimbus after years of watching smart teams overspend in the cloud — not because they were careless, but because the tools meant to help were complex, noisy, or just didn’t explain why the spend existed. I built Nimbus to do what platforms couldn’t: deliver fast, human-led audits with real insight.

Engineer first. Advocate for lean, clean systems always.
I’ve led infrastructure and platform teams at fast-growing startups and have seen firsthand how cloud waste accumulates — from abandoned services to poor autoscaling defaults. I built Nimbus as a surgical tool, not another dashboard: fast audits, clear savings, and no fluff. If you’re scaling and want to keep spend honest, Nimbus is your quiet advantage.

Good fit if…

  • Your cloud bill has grown faster than your revenue or headcount.
  • You suspect there’s waste but can’t see exactly where it lives.
  • Your teams are busy shipping features and don’t have time to babysit cost.
  • You’ve tried in-platform cost tools but they feel noisy or overwhelming.
  • You want a clear, human-readable path to spend less without slowing down.
