What can we stop spending — and who decided?

Onam FinOps holds cost-reduction recommendations, each with a recorded decision. The headline figure is labelled as an upper bound, not a promise.

The problem

In your words

We get savings recommendations as a long list. Everyone reads it and agrees, and nothing happens, because no item has an owner or an outcome. The headline savings number is so optimistic that we have learned to ignore it. And we will not let a cost tool resize production on its own.
What you see

What Savings shows you

Described from the product documentation — what the view holds, not what we hope it will.

  • Recommendations with a state

    Each recommendation is accepted or dismissed, and the decision is recorded. A saving has an outcome, not just a row.

  • A portfolio upper bound

    The most the open recommendations could save if every one were accepted and realised — labelled as a bound, not a projection.

  • A record for change management

    The accepted decision is what your own change process works from when it carries the change out.

  • Read-only by design

    Onam FinOps holds read-only billing access. Accepting a recommendation changes nothing in your cloud account.

How it works

The mechanism, step by step

What Savings does, in the order it does it.

  1. 1
    Recommendations are listed

    Cost-reduction recommendations appear with the portfolio upper bound above them.

  2. 2
    You decide

    Accept or dismiss each one. The decision is recorded.

  3. 3
    Your process acts

    If a recommendation should be carried out, your own change-management process makes the change, working from the recorded decision.

Limits, said plainly

What it does not do

Knowing where a capability stops is part of deciding whether to buy it.

  • It does not act on a saving

    Accepting records the decision. It does not resize, stop or delete anything in your account.

  • The headline is a ceiling

    The upper bound assumes every open recommendation is accepted and realised. Treat it as the most you could save, not what you will save.

Questions about Savings

No. It holds read-only billing access and acts on nothing. Accepting a recommendation records your decision; it does not resize, stop or delete a resource.
