Cloud Checker AWS

Cloud Checker AWS analyzes an AWS account to assess configuration hygiene, security posture, and cost efficiency. It targets common misconfigurations, over-provisioned resources, and regional spend patterns to help operators prioritize fixes. This enables cost control, security hardening, and reliability improvements within existing workflows.
It ingests inputs such as region, service usage, instance types, and tags, then applies a rule set and current AWS pricing data to compute risk scores, potential savings, and compliance gaps. Outputs include recommended rightsizing, unused resource identification, and budget alerts. The tool supports incremental runs and historical comparison to highlight trends.
Audience includes engineers, DevOps, SREs, and finance teams responsible for cloud reliability and cost governance. Its differentiators include AWS-aware cost modeling, configuration checks aligned with AWS best practices, and exportable findings that fit into existing governance workflows. It outputs actionable items with priority levels for quick remediation.
Core features include input validation, risk and cost scoring, rightsizing suggestions, policy checks (e.g., S3 public access, idle instances, IAM role alignment), and exportable reports. Use cases cover quarterly cost reviews, incident post-mortem impact assessments, onboarding of new accounts, and ongoing optimization programs. Export formats include CSV, JSON, and a concise executive summary.
Algorithmic approach combines rule-based scoring with thresholds aligned to AWS guidance, with pricing data anchored to region. It handles missing inputs by conservative defaults, supports multi-region aggregation and currency localization, and updates pricing weekly to keep results current. Auditing and traceability features support compliance reporting and partner reviews.
