About the Cloud Efficiency Hub
The Cloud Efficiency Hub is the world's most comprehensive knowledge base of cloud inefficiencies - spanning AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Snowflake, Databricks, Kubernetes, and beyond.
The Hub serves as a cornerstone of the broader Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) movement, providing organizations with a common framework to assess, improve, and continuously manage their efficiency posture across platforms.
Our principles
The Hub exists to share knowledge openly and help teams eliminate waste in the cloud. It is built on five core principles:
Community-powered
Contributions from practitioners worldwide are reviewed, standardized, and added as the industry evolves.
Practitioner-Governed
Experts from across the industry guide the Hub. If you'd like to help shape its direction, please reach out.
Continuous Improvement
As new services and usage-based pricing models emerge, the Hub will expand to remain the definitive catalog of inefficiencies.
Respectful use
Anyone is free to reference the Hub's content. Please credit the Cloud Efficiency Hub clearly and prominently.
Powered by PointFive
The Cloud Efficiency Hub is powered by PointFive. Our mission is to transform cloud efficiency from a reactive cost exercise into a discipline of continuous posture management. The Hub reflects this mission by making the industry's most comprehensive efficiency knowledge base open and accessible to all.

Governance Overview
The Cloud Efficiency Hub is a community-driven project. From day one, our goal has been to create something open, collaborative, and built by practitioners for practitioners. To help keep the Hub content useful and high-quality as it grows, we've introduced a governance model.
The hub invites contributions from anyone, regardless of role or title. Whether it's a new inefficiency, an update to existing Hub content, or feedback on the Hub itself, we welcome input from across the community. The Hub's team reviews, discusses, every submission. See all
Maintainers
After a contributor has had three published submissions, they're welcome to apply to join the Maintainer group. Maintainers are established contributors who review new submissions. They keep the Hub's content consistent, accurate, and actionable. Maintainers don't make decisions in isolation. They work closely with contributors and the broader community while reviewing submissions and making recommendations.

Governing Board
The Governing Board is a small group of community members who work together to steer the Hub's long-term direction. Governing Board members review proposals from Maintainers, approve content additions and updates, and help ensure the Hub remains true to its mission.
The board also serves as ambassadors for the Hub. It answers questions, helps onboard new contributors, and represents the project in the broader cloud and FinOps communities. An early goal of the board will be to define a charter and roadmap based on the needs of the community.
The board will select the Chair of the Governing Board. The Chair is responsible for facilitating collaboration and coordination across the project.
