This preview shows the structure of the executive summary, sample resource records, and top opportunity list that OpsCurb uses during the first review. It reflects the format we deliver, not a fabricated testimonial or named customer claim.
A first-scan brief you can assign, track, and forward
Most cloud cost tools stop at a savings number. Your first scan produces a concise executive summary, a ranked action queue, and owner-ready remediation guidance. See the product tour.
Sample first-scan brief
Executive Summary
In a typical $5,000/mo account, this first scan surfaced about $424/mo in recurring, low-risk waste. That is enough to matter, but still believable for a first pass focused on obvious cleanup and storage tuning. The point is not just the detections. The report also shows exact resource IDs, accounts, and regions so the team can recognize the work immediately. The first actions stay visible first: one is overdue, one is escalated, and one still needs an owner. Leadership can see what is owned, what is stuck, and what needs follow-through before the next scan.
Sample resource records
What the actual report talks about
Exact resource IDs, accounts, regions, and monthly impact make the sample feel like a real output.
Idle development database
$138/mo
atlas-dev-postgres
atlas-platform-dev • us-east-1
Single-AZ dev database with no recent connections. Snapshot first, then stop and remove if the workload is no longer needed.
S3 traffic still traverses NAT
$71/mo
nat-prod-egress-a
atlas-network-prod • us-east-1
Gateway endpoint traffic would remove the route cost for this workload and keep the egress path visible in the report.
Endpoint spread across 3 AZs
$21.90/mo
vpce-ecr-dkr-3az
atlas-platform-prod • us-east-1
The report keeps the resource ID, region, and AZ footprint visible so the team can remove only the extra endpoint capacity.
Retention drift on debug logs
$33/mo
/aws/ecs/atlas-api-prod
atlas-app-prod • us-west-2
Audit-facing logs can stay longer, while noisy debug streams are trimmed so the resource-level cost story stays easy to follow.
Ranked action queue
Overdue → unassigned → monthly impact#1 priority
Idle RDS development instance
Confirm no connections for 14 days, take a final snapshot, then stop and remove the single-AZ dev instance in the next change window.
$138/mo
Owner: Platform
#2 priority
NAT route to S3 still pending
Route S3 traffic through a gateway endpoint, validate data-path performance, then remove the NAT path for that workload.
$71/mo
Owner: Networking
#3 priority
ECR DKR interface endpoint in 3 AZs
Confirm no service still depends on the endpoint DNS path, then remove the interface endpoint or keep it if the image pull path is still required.
$21.90/mo
Owner: Platform
#4 priority
CloudWatch retention drift
Assign the owner, move noisy debug groups to 7-day retention, and keep audit-oriented logs at 30 days.
$33/mo
Owner: Unowned
#5 priority
Storage cleanup batch in 3 regions
Confirm no point-in-time recovery dependency, then delete 11 orphaned gp2 volumes and 6 stale AMI snapshots in one cleanup batch.
$94/mo
Owner: Infra
#6 priority
gp2 migration backlog
Start with 4 low-risk 150-300GB gp2 volumes in dev and staging, migrate to gp3, then re-run performance validation before queue expansion.
$88/mo
Owner: App team
Lifecycle snapshot
Assigned → overdue → escalated → resolved or snoozed. This is the workflow layer, not just a list of cleanup checks.

What this proves
- Overdue or unowned waste is obvious before it slips back into backlog debt.
- Each action shows who owns it and what should happen next.
- Leadership can forward a short summary and see what still needs escalation.
