Introduction

Cloud Cost Analyzer (CCA) finds waste in your AWS and Azure accounts and tells you exactly what to cut — every finding comes with the evidence behind it, an estimated monthly saving, and a remediation step. It's a single CLI binary you point at an account:

cca scan --provider aws

No agent to install, no data pipeline to stand up, no sales call. The free tier is self-serve and needs no credit card — you can get a real, shareable savings number for your own account in a few minutes.

Why developers use it

• CLI-first. One static binary. Runs on your laptop or in CI. Machine-readable output (--output json|yaml|markdown|csv) pipes cleanly, and a non-zero exit code lets you fail a pipeline on regressions.
• Read-only and least-privilege. CCA uses the standard AWS credential chain (env vars, AWS_PROFILE, or an IAM role) and never needs write access. cca setup generates a read-only IAM role for you, and cca doctor verifies credentials and permissions before a scan runs. For the full security posture (data handling, encryption, air-gapped mode), see the Security page.
• Your data stays yours. Local mode scans and reports fully offline — scan data never leaves your environment (Enterprise / air-gapped). Syncing results to the shared dashboard (managed mode) is opt-in, not the default.
• A full library of optimization rules across compute, storage, databases, networking, and serverless — rightsizing, idle detection, previous-generation and Graviton migrations, Reserved Instance / Savings Plan coverage, orphaned volumes and snapshots, and more.
• Fits your workflow. First-class GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins integrations, or wire it into any pipeline with the JSON output.

How it works

1. Scan — CCA reads resource configuration and CloudWatch metrics through the read-only role.
2. Analyze — each resource is evaluated against the rule engine.
3. Report — findings come back with evidence, an estimated monthly saving, and a fix. Export as table, JSON, YAML, Markdown, or PDF.
4. Track (optional) — sync to the dashboard to watch savings and your optimization score over time across the team.
