Underutilized Cloud Resources

Stop paying for
idle cloud.

Surf finds the waste, confirms it's safe to remove, and cleans it up with a human decision on every resource.

Cloud environments accumulate stale resources constantly. Everyone knows the waste is there. Cleanup never happens because nobody is sure who owns what, and nobody wants to accidentally decommission something important.

The workflow

How Surf works

From underuse detection to confirmed cleanup — Surf handles the operational layer your cost tools were never built to own.

Detect underuse

Proprietary signals, every day

Proprietary detection logic evaluates CPU, network, and storage signals daily. No third-party alert required.

Find the owner

Mapped through the Context Graph

The Context Graph traces each resource back to a real person, even when tags are missing or the original owner has left.

Confirm with a human

Keep it or decommission it

Surf pings the owner in Slack or Teams: keep it, or decommission it? The decision stays with a human.

Clean up and audit

Decommissioned with a full trail

Approved resources are decommissioned automatically. Every step lands in your ticketing system with a full audit trail.

The gap

Why existing tools fall short

Cost tools stop at the report.

Underutilization gets flagged. Then it sits in a list with no workflow to act on it.

Nobody knows who owns it.

Without ownership resolution, every flagged resource needs a manual hunt before anyone can touch it.

Cleanup never gets prioritized.

Tracking down owners, confirming safety, coordinating decommissioning — the work that consistently slips.

Identifying savings is not the same as realizing them.

Other tools surface opportunities. Operationalizing the cleanup is a different problem.

What changes when Surf is in the loop

Lower cloud spend

Stop paying for resources nobody is using.

Smaller attack surface

Unattended resources are exposure, not just waste.

Cleanup at scale

Handle a large cloud estate without adding headcount.

Audit-ready, always

Every review, decision, and action recorded against the resource.
