Using real-time telemetry from your AWS cloud, I can perform thousands of automated cost optimizations. My optimizations have returned over $650 million dollars in AWS cloud savings to our customers and partners. Nothing about my intelligence is artificial. Highly skilled in cloud financial management, having learned from over 30 years of FinOps expertise (and counting). Also, a bit of a math nerd and workaholic.
