ZOMBIE SCAN & REMOVAL

Cut Cloud Waste in Minutes

Zombie resources quietly drain budget and create security risks. Teams try to stay on top of cloud sprawl but up to 30% of your bill is coming from Zombies. A quick scan reveals what’s wasting money so you can shut it down and stay in control.

Stop Paying for What You Don’t Use

You know that sinking feeling when you spot a charge for something you forgot about? Now scale that up to your cloud. Zombie Scan helps you find them fast, so you can clean up quickly and stop waste from creeping back in.

Scan to Identify Zombies

OpsCanvas scans your AWS accounts to find likely zombie resources. Those forgotten, or idle cloud assets that quietly drive up costs. Each one is flagged and scored by algorithm considering age, usage, and creator.

You’ll see projected savings before cleanup, ownership details to guide safe action, and the option to exclude anything you want to keep.

Quickly Remove Costs and Risks

Use OpsRunner to add an additional layer of context by associating zombies with applications, then clean up individually or in bulk.

Keep Zombies from Coming Back

Set lifecycle rules to automatically shut down non-prod environments and prevent future waste. With full visibility in OpsRunner, you’ll always know what’s running, who owns it, and why it exists organized by application, environment, and infrastructure.

END-TO-END WASTE REDUCTION

Start by Seeing All Your Cloud Resources

Easily see all your cloud resources, grouped by type so you. know their purpose and can safely remove waste.

Lightweight, Automated Integration

Quickly setup, integrate and use OpsCanvas without requiring an engineering project.  Whether from the web portal or CLI, OpsCanvas automates integration by inserting a code snippet into your deployment pipelines within the git provider of choice after receiving your approval of the pull request. No direct integration of your cloud account required.

Quick Scan for Zombie Waste

Once connected, OpsCanvas scans your cloud account to identify potential zombie resources using its proprietary algorithm. Zombie scoring ranks likely zombies, and OpsRunner eliminates all active resources from consideration, leaving a set of likely zombie resources for removal.

Zombie Cost Estimations

The Zombie dashboard highlights the total cost of Zombies identified and removed, providing an immediate ROI and impact consideration when making waste removal decisions. While each company will have a unique ‘zombie footprint’, Gartner estimates on average 30% of cloud resources are unused Zombies, with some research estimates as high as 70% which can reduce a company’s monthly cloud bill by 30% or more.

Reduced Attack Surface

By removing unused resources, it reduces the attack surface for bad actors.  Zombie resources are often forgotten about and are no longer receiving necessary security updates or attention.  Security starts with visibility, so removing the invisible provides more robust security profile for your organization.

Automate Removal, with Confidence

While identifying zombie resources can be time-consuming, having enough information to confidently delete a resource is essential.  OpsCanvas provides a zombie score and removes  active resources from consideration. We  provide metadata including  who originally deployed the resource, when, and how long it’s been unused to expedite the decision process. Resources can then be automatically, safely removed.

No Tags or Sub-Accounts Required

The volume and complexity of managing cloud resources has resulted in the adoption of manual work-around methods such as tagging resources, and managing resources across hundreds of sub-accounts.  Despite the best of intentions, these processes often result in an incomplete implementation and/or unanticipated complexity which slows everything down while waste creeps back in.  OpsCanvas is able to organize resources by unique application, environment and core infrastructure without tagging or over-use of sub-accounts, which ensures complete visibility and nothing falling through the cracks.

Meets You Where You Are

OpsCanvas works with whatever your organization is already doing, No need to change your processes, cloud account, or infrastructure to have a successful Zombie scan.

Access to a Full Orchestration Platform

While Zombie Removal delivers an immediate ROI and value from day one, it only scratches the surface of the visibility and automations OpsCanvas can provide.  OpsRunner adds immediate visibility of your active resources grouped by application, running environment, and core infrastructure.  It also provides one-click actions to automate deployments, updates, promotions, decommissions, and all of the processes required to manage your running environments.  And for new applications or cloud migrations, the Designer generates TerraForm IaC, K8s cluster configurations, and deployment scripting, so the team can focus on innovation and not coding new deployments.
