## Complete AWS cost optimization, end to end

### Complete Cost Visibility

See every dollar and what's driving it across all AWS services, compute, storage, networking, and data.

- Account-level and service-level cost breakdown

- Tag-based cost allocation and attribution

- Cross-service dependency mapping

- Anomaly alerts before budget impact

### Intelligent Savings

DeepWaste™ uncovers what others miss, from NAT Gateway waste to EBS snapshot bloat.

### Verified ROI

Findings flow to where engineers work, with tracking to prove what was fixed.

- Agentic remediation workflows

- Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow

- Resolution tracking & validation

- Custom dashboards per team

## Explore AWS optimizations

### EC2 Optimization

Rightsizing, scheduling, generation upgrades, and idle instance detection across all instance families.

### EBS & Snapshot Optimization

Orphaned volumes, snapshot bloat, gp2-to-gp3 migration, and unused AMI cleanup.

### RDS Optimization

Idle databases, oversized instances, storage autoscaling, and multi-AZ right-sizing.

### Networking & NAT Gateway

VPC Flow Log analysis to detect NAT Gateway waste, unused Elastic IPs, and idle load balancers.

### Lambda & Serverless

Memory rightsizing, duration optimization, and provisioned concurrency analysis.

### S3 & Storage

Lifecycle policy gaps, storage class optimization, multipart upload cleanup, and versioning analysis.

## The cross-stack advantage no AWS-only tool can match

PointFive sees your AWS environment and every layer above it: Kubernetes workloads on EKS, data pipelines on EMR, AI workloads on Bedrock and SageMaker. We coordinate S3 lifecycle policies with application usage patterns, detect public internet access instead of VPC endpoints, and find savings at the intersection that no point tool ever could.

## Built for engineering teams that move fast

### Guided onboarding

Connect through guided onboarding using agentless discovery integrations.

### AI-Powered, 24/7

Continuously monitors and acts on your environment with intelligent automation.

### Zero Savings Gaps

Full coverage across cloud, PaaS, data & AI. No blind spots, no missed savings.

### No Context Switching

Engineers fix issues in the tools they already use: Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow.

## Connect through guided onboarding

- 01  Connect your AWS account with a read-only IAM role

- 02  PointFive auto-discovers all services and resources

- 03  DeepWaste™ begins scanning and identifying optimizations

- 04  Review prioritized findings and start saving

## Built for security-conscious teams

- Read-only discovery does not modify your resources

- Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval

- Least-privilege IAM role with minimal permissions

- Data encrypted in transit and at rest

- SOC 2 Type II compliant

- No agents to install or maintain

## Common questions about AWS optimization

### 

PointFive uses a read-only IAM role with minimal permissions for discovery. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed. Guided onboarding connects discovery without agents or code changes.

### 

PointFive detects waste across EC2, RDS, S3, EBS, Lambda, EKS, Fargate, NAT Gateway, CloudWatch, MSK, SageMaker, Bedrock, and more. New detections ship weekly.

### 

AWS Cost Explorer shows you what you spent. PointFive shows you why, finds the waste others miss using DeepWaste™ detection technology, and helps engineers fix it in the tools they already use, with verified tracking.

### 

Savings depend on your workloads and the changes you implement. Evaluate recommendations against workload requirements and measure realized savings against actual usage and billing after remediation.
