# Optimizing Cloud Costs
## Overview
Analyze cloud spending across AWS, GCP, and Azure to identify waste, recommend rightsizing, and generate cost-saving configurations. Covers reserved instances, spot/preemptible workloads, storage tiering, idle resource cleanup, and budget alerting using cloud-native cost management APIs.
## Prerequisites
- Cloud provider CLI authenticated with billing/cost-explorer read access
- AWS: `ce:GetCostAndUsage`, `ec2:DescribeInstances`, `cloudwatch:GetMetricData` permissions
- GCP: Billing Account Viewer and Compute Viewer roles
- Azure: Cost Management Reader role
- Access to current infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation) for rightsizing changes
- At least 30 days of billing data for meaningful analysis
