Zombie Scan and Removal

Cut Cloud Costs in Minutes

Not sure why your cloud bill is climbing every month? You’re not alone. Cloud sprawl sneaks up on even the best teams.

Zombie Scan finds hidden waste, shows you what’s safe to remove, and keeps you in control.

Why Does My Bill Keep Growing?

Resources are easy to spin up but hard to track, and over time they turn into zombies, forgotten or idle services, quietly driving up costs and expanding risk. Cloud sprawl even drags on teams that follow best practices who struggle to explain every line of the bill without spending hours digging through reports.

Zombie Scan shows you where the waste is and what is safe to remove,
so you can cut costs with confidence.

What Can We Do About It?

Teams used to rely on complex tools and manual processes for answers, only to get reports that
were outdated the second the report was completed.

Zombie Scan changes that. It gives you a fast, safe way to spot zombie waste and cut it with confidence.

Questions We Hear Most

You’re right to ask about access and security. We’ve designed OpsCanvas to protect your data and give you full control at every step. We’ve built OpsCanvas on the shoulders of giants and assembled an advisory board of cloud leaders from top companies including Starbucks, Intuit, AWS, Google, and Pendo. Here are the questions teams ask most often as they build trust in Zombie Scan.

How do I know if I have Zombies? Is it worth it?

Almost every company does typically 10–30% of spend. Even a few percent scattered across thousands of resources adds up fast. The payoff is cost reduction and a smaller attack surface, without heavy work.

Will it really impact my bill, or just for certain companies?

Cloud waste affects everyone. Longtime cloud users often see 30%+ waste, while even disciplined teams rarely fall below 10%.

How can setup only take 10 minutes?

We’ve designed Zombie Scan to be simple on the surface, even though the analysis behind it is sophisticated. Setup often takes less than 10 minutes, results arrive in 24 hours.

How can I be sure it’s safe and secure?

OpsCanvas never asks for AWS credentials. You log in and run our CloudFormation script yourself (open for review). We analyze metadata only not code, secrets, or data. OpsCanvas follows SOC-2 best practices and partners with leading security firms.

Why should I do a Zombie Scan?

Because it’s a no-brainer: free to try, results in 24 hours, and typically 5–10x ROI in year one. Start with a lower environment and expand from there.

What is a Zombie Score?

It’s our proprietary AI-driven metric that evaluates attributes on resources running in your cloud account. Scores over 70 typically signal waste. You make the decision, with our analysis for support.

Does OpsCanvas delete resources automatically?

No. You stay in control. Deletions are optional, engineer-approved, and performed through your own CLI.
