WasteLine by OptimNow

WasteLine by OptimNow scans AWS environments for cloud waste and turns the results into prioritized remediation work. It is aimed at FinOps, platform engineering, cloud architects, and infrastructure teams that need to find orphaned, idle, and overprovisioned resources and act on them with cost context attached.

The product produces a prioritized findings table and a ranked remediation plan. Each finding includes estimated monthly cost impact from CloudWatch metrics and pricing data, and the output is filterable, sortable, and export-ready. The dashboard shows an executive snapshot with total findings, monthly and annualized cost impact, waste broken down by category and account, and confidence and blast-radius distributions. Findings can be reviewed in detail, and each one includes remediation scripts. The workflow also creates prioritized actions labeled P1 to P4 with effort estimates and pre-built remediation scripts. The coverage section states 49 detection rules across 7 waste categories, including SageMaker and Bedrock, and the scan phase covers orphaned, idle, overprovisioned, commitment-mismatched, and schedule-blind resources.

WasteLine is delivered through a CLI that can scan, open the dashboard, and generate reports, one command at a time. The product also offers a live demo, a free guided scan booking, and a starter pack. It is read-only, makes no write API calls, has no SaaS backend, makes zero outbound calls, and keeps data in the user’s account. The page also says it uses deterministic rules rather than generative AI. For quickstart use, it can be run from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or Kiro, and it exposes commands through --help and MCP so agents can discover them. Remediation artifacts mentioned on the page include AWS CLI scripts, Terraform snippets, and OpenOps approval workflows. A full scan on a single AWS account is available at no cost.
