AWS FinOps Agent Preview

AWS announces the preview of AWS FinOps Agent, a tool for FinOps practitioners and engineering teams that answers cost questions, surfaces optimization opportunities, automatically investigates cost anomalies, and runs recurring FinOps workflows.

With AWS FinOps Agent, you can ask questions about your AWS costs and generate cloud cost reports for finance and engineering teams. The agent surfaces rightsizing, idle resource, and Savings Plans recommendations and can open Jira tickets on your behalf. When a cost anomaly is detected, FinOps Agent can automatically investigate the root cause and post findings to a Slack channel.

What to do

• Ask questions about your AWS costs
• Generate cloud cost reports
• Surface optimization opportunities
• Automatically investigate cost anomalies
• Run recurring FinOps workflows

AWS FinOps Agent is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and includes cost and usage data covering all AWS Regions, except AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and AWS China (Beijing and Ningxia) Regions. It is offered at no additional charge during the preview.
