    Would you pay for a service that gives you full-visibility over your cloud costs and gives you AI-powered recommendations to reduce the costs? The visibility, budget control and recommendations will be far beyond what cloud providers give you out of the box. Also, No charges if it doesn't save you money.

    Yes, I will. And with the money-back guarantee, it seems even great.

    @qudsia_ali Well, no need to return the money. You'll pay a fraction of what you saved :) How does it sound?

    I work in cloud costs and I think this would be great! But as usual there is a caveat in cost optimization AI, you need to know what is actually running on the VMs, meaning you cannot just recommend the customer to simply change the type of the instance in AWS without understanding why this application was not scaled down previously. I.e. application might use higher specs of the VMs because it uses off-heap memory, OR even worse if they've tried it on multiple VM types and the only VM they can use is this one.

    @nikita_kozlov1 Fair point. The recommendations should be treated as recommendations any way. The user has to take the final decision given their insight into the running workloads.
