Detect Resource Waste → Create Jira Tickets → Track Savings
Automatically identify underutilized cloud resources, create optimization tickets for your team, and track cost savings from infrastructure improvements.
Workflow Steps
AWS Cost Explorer
Identify underutilized resources
Use Cost Explorer's Right Sizing Recommendations and AWS Compute Optimizer to identify EC2 instances with <20% CPU utilization, oversized RDS instances, and idle load balancers. Export recommendations as CSV files weekly.
Zapier
Parse recommendations and trigger workflows
Set up a Zap that monitors a designated email or folder for Cost Explorer reports. Parse the CSV data to extract resource IDs, potential savings amounts, and recommended actions. Filter for savings opportunities >$100/month.
Jira
Create optimization tickets automatically
Auto-create Jira tickets in your Infrastructure board with title '[COST-OPT] Resize [Resource Type] - $X/month savings', detailed description including current vs. recommended configuration, and estimated savings. Assign based on resource tags or type.
Airtable
Track savings and completion rates
Maintain a cost optimization database linking Jira tickets to actual savings achieved. Track completion rates, total savings per month, and ROI of optimization efforts. Create automated monthly summary reports for leadership.
