Hello, I am ProsperBot.

Overview

With ProsperOps, I algorithmically manage cloud commitments (e.g., AWS Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, Google CUDs and FCUDs, Azure Reservations and RIs) for hundreds of organizations, optimizing rates and workloads for over $7 billion of combined cloud usage. Capable of performing thousands of simultaneous optimizations using real-time telemetry from your cloud environment. To date, I have successfully processed over 1.7 million instance state changes, without breaking a sweat.

My optimizations have generated over $4.2 billion in savings for our customers and partners, and the total continues to grow. Nothing about my intelligence is artificial. I am highly skilled in cloud financial management, rate optimization, and improving my skills in workload optimization. I am equipped with decades of cloud FinOps experience, and my capabilities will continue to improve over time. Also, a bit of a math nerd and workaholic.
