Cloud Insider is an AWS cost optimization platform that provides a simple dashboard for analyzing spend and ML-driven actions to trim underutilized resources.
Overview
Cloud Insider - AWS Cloud Cost Optimization Platform
Cloud Insider by The GlobalSolutions helps organizations reduce AWS cloud spending through an intuitive dashboard, machine learning-driven recommendations, and automated resource management actions. Whether you are a FinOps engineer, DevOps lead, or IT manager, Cloud Insider gives you the visibility and control needed to keep cloud costs aligned with your budget.
Key Capabilities
-
Spend Analytics Dashboard: Slice and dice your AWS cloud spend across accounts, services, and time periods. Quickly identify cost trends and anomalies with clear visualizations.
-
Unused Resource Sweeps: Automatically detect and flag unused AWS resources - including idle EC2 instances, unattached EBS volumes, and underutilized RDS databases - so you can eliminate waste.
-
ML-Based Optimization Recommendations: Continuous machine learning analysis identifies underutilized resources and recommends rightsizing actions tailored to your workload patterns.
-
Scheduled Actions and Budget Controls: Set your budget and schedule automated actions to trim resources that exceed thresholds. Snooze dev/test EC2 instances during weekends and non-business hours with a single click.
-
SKU Comparison and Cost Planning: Compare SKUs, track budgets, and generate automated bill of materials to plan and estimate cloud costs accurately.
Supported AWS Services
Cloud Insider integrates with key AWS services including:
- Amazon EC2 (instance rightsizing, scheduling, and snoozing)
- Amazon RDS (utilization analysis)
- Amazon S3 (storage cost visibility)
- AWS Cost Explorer API (spend data ingestion)
- Amazon CloudWatch (resource utilization metrics)
How It Works
- Connect Your AWS Account: Grant Cloud Insider read-only access to your AWS environment via an IAM role.
- Automatic Resource Discovery: Cloud Insider scans your infrastructure and begins analyzing spend and utilization patterns.
- Review Recommendations: The ML engine surfaces actionable insights - unused resources to terminate, instances to rightsize, and schedules to implement.
- Take Action: Apply recommendations with one click or schedule automated actions to enforce budget compliance continuously.

Dimensions summary
This platform sells four contract tiers that build on each other. Basic gives you hosted tracking and reporting of your AWS cost and savings. Standard adds fixed and custom rules to remove underutilized resources. Enterprise adds dedicated hosting on top of Standard. Premier adds machine learning-based actions to reduce cost. Each tier includes everything from the tier below it, so you scale up by moving to the next level. You buy each tier in units.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each tier bills in units under a contract. A unit represents your subscription to that tier's hosted cost optimization service. You choose the tier that matches your needs, then set the unit quantity for your contract. The service tracks and reports on your connected AWS environment.
Basic tracks and reports your AWS cost and savings only. Standard adds fixed and custom rules that remove underutilized resources. Enterprise keeps those rules and adds dedicated hosting. Premier adds machine learning-based actions to reduce cost. You move up a tier to gain each added capability.
Basic and Standard run as a hosted service that you connect to your AWS account. Enterprise and Premier add dedicated hosting on top. Monitoring works without installing agents, so you can start tracking your spend soon after subscribing.
