Overview
After connecting your AWS account in Stage 1, the next step is enabling automated compute savings by clicking the Start Savings button. This is where Cloudshim moves from cost visibility to actual cost optimization — fully automated and always running in the background.
Cloudshim is completely Free to use, we never charge you, only Save for you.
🧠 What Happens in Stage 2?
In this stage, your AWS account is securely onboarded into Cloudshim’s AWS Organization using a guided CloudFormation flow. This allows Cloudshim to:
Continuously manage Reserved Instances and Savings Plans
Automate compute cost savings across EC2, RDS, ECS, and more
Optimize without changing your infrastructure — no instance restarts or redeploys
All savings logic runs within Cloudshim’s infrastructure — your workloads remain completely untouched.
🔐 What Access Is Granted?
Onboarding into our organization grants Cloudshim permission to:
View usage and billing data
Purchase and manage RIs and Savings Plans on your behalf
Never access or modify your running infrastructure or data
✅ How to Enable Compute Savings
From the Cloudshim dashboard, click Start Saving
You’ll be guided through a CloudFormation stack that securely links your account to Cloudshim’s AWS Organization
Follow the prompts, review the permissions, and click Create Stack
That’s it — Cloudshim will begin optimizing your compute usage automatically
Savings typically begin to appear within days and are continuously updated in your dashboard.
You keep full control of your resources. Cloudshim only operates at the billing and optimization layer.
