Day 1 · Connect
About 5 minutesCreate your account and connect AWS
Sign up and connect your AWS account with a single CloudFormation stack. It creates a read-only IAM role for scanning and an SSM automation role for implementing fixes.
- No agents to install on your servers
- No Lambda functions in your account
- No data leaves your AWS environment
- Works with single accounts and AWS Organizations
- SOC 2 Type 2 audited
Day 1–2 · Scan
Typically within 24 hours110+ finders scan your AWS environment
CloudFix analyzes your Cost and Usage Report and resource configurations across all connected accounts, and you see a prioritized list of savings opportunities.
- EBS: gp2 volumes to migrate to gp3, unattached volumes, old snapshots
- S3: missing Intelligent-Tiering, lifecycle policy gaps, incomplete multipart uploads
- RDS: storage type upgrades, instance rightsizing, idle databases
- EC2: rightsizing, idle instances, stopped instances still incurring costs
- CloudFront: price class optimization, compression settings
- Lambda: memory and timeout tuning, alias cleanup
Week 1 · Review
30–60 minutesReview savings opportunities and approve fixes
The CloudFix dashboard ranks every opportunity by estimated monthly impact. Each fixer shows the service, the specific change, the dollar impact and the risk level.
- Approve fixes individually or batch-approve low-risk changes
- Set automation policies: auto-approve safe fixes, hold risky ones for review
- Assign fixers to team members or environments
- Export reports for compliance and audit trails
Week 2 · Fix
Automated, minutes per fixCloudFix implements approved fixes via AWS Systems Manager
Approved fixes run through AWS Systems Manager Automation. CloudFix makes the change, verifies it succeeded and records the full audit trail.
- gp2 to gp3 volume migration: 20% storage cost reduction, no performance impact
- S3 Intelligent-Tiering activation: automatic tiering reduces storage costs up to 40%
- Unattached EBS volume cleanup: stop paying for volumes nobody uses
- RDS storage optimization: upgrade from magnetic to SSD, rightsize storage
- CloudFront price class adjustment: pay for the regions you actually serve
- Every change logged, auditable and reversible
Week 3–4 · Verify

- Most customers reach 20–35% off the total AWS bill
Before day 1
What you need to get started.
AWS admin access
Permission to launch a CloudFormation stack. Any IAM user with admin, or CloudFormation plus IAM permissions, works.
A Cost and Usage Report
An AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) on your account. CloudFix guides you through creating one if it does not exist.
About 5 minutes
That is the hands-on time. After connecting, CloudFix runs automatically; review and approval takes 30–60 minutes a week.
No engineering
No code to write, no agents to maintain, no architecture changes. CloudFix implements AWS best practices through managed AWS services.
By service
Typical savings by AWS service.
Based on $2B+ in analyzed AWS spend across 500+ companies. Savings on each AWS service optimized, not on the whole bill.
| AWS service | What CloudFix optimizes | Typical savings |
|---|---|---|
| EBS | gp2 to gp3 migration, delete unattached volumes, clean old snapshots | 15–25% |
| S3 | Intelligent-Tiering, lifecycle policies, incomplete multipart upload cleanup | 20–40% |
| RDS | Storage type optimization, instance rightsizing, idle database detection | 15–30% |
| EC2 | Instance rightsizing, idle detection, stopped instance cleanup | 20–35% |
| CloudFront | Price class optimization, compression enablement, origin optimization | 10–25% |
| Lambda | Memory tuning, timeout optimization, function cleanup | 15–40% |
How long does CloudFix take to set up?
About 5 minutes to connect to your AWS account. You launch a CloudFormation stack that creates read-only and automation IAM roles. No agents, no code changes, no infrastructure modifications. Your first scan typically completes within 24 hours.
Do I need engineering resources to implement CloudFix?
No. The CloudFormation stack is launched by anyone with AWS admin access. After that, CloudFix runs automatically. You approve fixes through the dashboard and CloudFix implements them via AWS Systems Manager. No scripts to write, no agents to maintain, no code to deploy.
What AWS changes does CloudFix make?
CloudFix implements AWS-recommended best practices: migrating gp2 volumes to gp3, enabling S3 Intelligent-Tiering, deleting unattached EBS volumes and old snapshots, rightsizing RDS and EC2 instances, optimizing CloudFront distributions, and the rest of its 53 automated fixers. Every change is logged, auditable and reversible.
Is CloudFix safe? Will it break my applications?
CloudFix only implements changes that AWS has documented as best practices. Changes like gp2 to gp3 migration and S3 Intelligent-Tiering are non-disruptive and recommended by AWS. Every fix is tagged with a risk level, you approve changes before they happen, and AWS Systems Manager provides full audit trails and rollback capability.
How much can I save with CloudFix in 30 days?
Most CloudFix customers see 20–35% off their total AWS bill. The exact amount depends on your AWS environment; see the success stories for customer results. You can verify savings independently in AWS Cost Explorer.
Can I try CloudFix for free?
Yes. CloudFix has a free tier for AWS accounts with up to $50K annual spend, with full scanning and recommendations and no credit card. For larger environments, paid plans start at $149/month and include automated fix implementation.
What happens after the 30 days?
CloudFix keeps monitoring your AWS environment for new savings opportunities. Its 110+ finders run continuously, catching new waste as teams deploy new resources, so ongoing savings often exceed the initial 30-day results.
Does CloudFix work with AWS Organizations?
Yes. CloudFix connects to your AWS Organizations management account and scans all linked accounts. You can manage fixers at the organization, OU or individual account level. This is included in Growth and Scale plans.
