📌 What is Cloudshim

Cloudshim helps AWS customers automatically save on cloud costs using advanced Reserved Instance and Savings Plan (RISP) strategies and enterprise-grade bulk discounts.

There are no dashboards to manage. No knobs to turn. You simply connect your AWS account, and Cloudshim takes care of the rest.

🚀 What Cloudshim Does

Cloudshim automatically:

  • Applies the most cost-effective Reserved Instances and Savings Plans based on your workload

  • Leverages bulk pricing and committed-use discounts to reduce your AWS bill

  • Optimizes your environment continually as usage patterns change

This all happens in the background—no manual effort, no approval queues, no guesswork.

🔍 What We Don't Do

Cloudshim focuses exclusively on pricing-based cloud savings.

We do not:

  • Perform rightsizing or workload-level recommendations

  • Require FinOps or DevOps involvement

You don’t need to log in or manage anything—we handle it for you.

🖥️ Platform Overview

All optimizations are handled automatically by Cloudshim’s backend automation engine, which continuously applies the most cost-effective Reserved Instances and Savings Plans based on your usage.

What you see is not a to-do list — it’s a real reflection of how much you’re saving, how much was previously missed, and where costs are trending.

Key highlights:

  • Savings Chart
